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.
