   Living With BPD, Anorexia & Myself

   In this episode, our guest opens up about her brutal struggle with anorexia and borderline personality disorder—how it began with “healthy habits,” how it spiralled into obsession, and how she’s still learning to live with it. From being hospitalised at 16 to fighting the stigma from medical professionals, this is a raw and unfiltered look into the mind of someone battling an eating disorder. Growing up, she was a high-achieving perfectionist, praised for her discipline—but behind the praise was pain. What started with calorie counting turned into life-threatening restriction, self-harm, and eventually inpatient psychiatric care. Alongside her battle with food came the emotional chaos of BPD, making her story as complex as it is courageous. Topics Covered: • How anorexia starts with good intentions and spirals into control • The dark side of being praised for looking unwell • Living with borderline personality disorder and emotional instability • The crossover between addiction and eating disorders • Why psychiatric units don’t always help • The pressure of being the “perfect” patient • Food obsession, binging, and purging • What recovery really looks like (and why it’s not a straight line) • The stigma of invisible illness in the mental health system • How she’s navigating life beyond the diagnosis This is an honest, eye-opening discussion that sheds light on the complex realities of anorexia, BPD, and recovery.

[…] It's scary world. It really is. Do you have any thoughts on those end -kick men? Do you know what my sister said something to me the other day, which I thought was really interesting about Ozone Pick was that a lot in Hollywood, a lot of celebrities, anytime they get money and they get richer off, they then go and start his impact by getting out on it and lose all this weight. So in the media now, the amount of people that are like bigger is getting smaller and smaller. Yeah. Because if you think about all the people like Lizzo, Meghan Trainor, all these people, they've all lost weight. Yeah. The other thing that I think is really interesting right is that being thin now aesthetically, it's not hard to achieve. […]
