Navigating Life with Borderline Personality Disorder: Julie Lorton's Journey

We're not about educating people, we're just about connecting people and trying to get people to understand that they're not alone.
Ever wondered what it's like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In this episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz sit down with 23-year-old Julie Lorton, who opens up about her life with BPD. Julie doesn't hold back as she talks about hitting rock bottom, ending up in a psych ward, and the bumpy road to recovery. She also shares why she had to leave some old friends behind to move forward.
The conversation is raw and real, touching on stigmas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the misconception that mental health issues excuse bad behavior (hint: they don't). If you're looking for an honest discussion about mental health that doesn't sugarcoat the tough stuff, this episode is for you. Just a heads-up, the episode does touch on self-harm, so if you need support, reach out to your local crisis center.
Julie's story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there's hope and a way forward.
