Note: This is an OG episode of BFTB. For some of my older episodes, I’ve decided to archive them and make them available only for Premium Submarines. Enjoy this throwback episode.Original episode description: If you identify with the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (also known as BPD or EUPD), it’s likely you’ve heard of “splitting.” Splitting is a defense mechanism that causes a person to view something or someone in ‘black and white’ terms (i.e., “all good” or “all bad.) This episode is part one in a three-part deep dive series on BPD splitting behaviors. If you identify with BPD, it’s likely you’re not conscious of when you’re splitting or why it happens. This can be a very painful and isolating experience. By listening to this series, you'll finally become aware of these self-sabotaging patterns and become better connected to yourself and those around you...

when symptoms of "quiet bpd" rule your life: jared's story
Welcome to this episode where I interview Jared Gelman, a songwriter and BPD recovery warrior who shares his journey of dealing with identity issues, self-harm, and addictive behaviors. Growing up in a family that labeled him as "too much" had a profound impact on Jared, shaping the person he is today. In this conversation, Jared shares his experience with "quiet BPD" and opens up about topics like dichotomous thinking, paranoia, emotional regulation, and relationships. We discuss the stigma associated with BPD as a diagnostic label and how people diagnosed with BPD are often misunderstood.
Jared also talks about his struggles with finding a stable sense of self, his diagnosis of ADHD, and the impact of emotional invalidation during his childhood. This episode is a must-listen if you or someone you know identifies with the "quiet BPD" subtype. Join us as we delve into the challenges of BPD symptomology and offer tips and techniques for coping with splitting episodes and the intense fear of rejection, abandonment, and loneliness. We also provide valuable insights for the loved ones of people who identify with the signs and symptoms of BPD. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of BPD and to learn how to support yourself or others through the healing journey.
