If you're realizing that there's a person in your life who truly will never be able to understand that you have an impulse disorder issue and an emotion regulation disorder issue, then I would not spend your emotional energy trying to force them to get it.
Ever struggled to make your family understand what it's like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson tackle this exact issue in a heartfelt episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline'. Answering a listener's plea for advice, they share their personal journeys and offer practical tips on explaining BPD to those who just don't get it. The duo dives into the emotional rollercoaster of BPD, addressing the stigma and misunderstandings that often come with it.
They stress the importance of finding a supportive community and the value of therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Laurie and Sara remind listeners that not everyone will understand, and that's okay. It's more important to conserve your emotional energy for those who truly support you. This episode is a raw, honest look at the challenges of living with BPD and offers hope to anyone feeling isolated or misunderstood.
