161. An Inside Look At What It's Like Living With Borderline Personality Disorder [with NJ Rodman]

You’ve likely heard of bipolar disorder, split personalities and more- but have you ever heard of Borderline Personality Disorder before?Well, in today’s Friday’s with Friends episode, you’re going to! In this episode I am joined by our refreshing guest, NJ, who takes us through the deep implications of what exactly this diagnosis is- and how it has radically altered her life.Together we dive into the childhood trauma she experienced before her diagnosis, the deep way in which she experiences emotion, what it’s like moving through life without an ‘identity’, and how in the last year and a half, she’s had to completely uproot her life and start again.In this vulnerable share, she talks about the moments that nearly broke her, the days when she feels like quitting, what’s keeping her going even in the darkest hours- and how she’s doing it ALL as a single mother.This episode is deep, raw, and extremely informative- and I’m sure it’ll answer every single question that you have (including the ones you didn’t even think to ask!).Let’s dive in, shall we?_____________________Here’s A Little About NJ + Her Journey:NJ Rodman is a romance author based out of Sherwood Park.
