This episode gives big sitting-down-for-coffee-with-your-big-sister-for-a-heart-to-heart energy. Together, we'll discuss social media and its impact on emotion dysregulation, discussing BPD with your family, how to heal after rushing into new relationships too quickly, and the inevitable post-honeymoon phase crash.
Questions answered and topics discussed in this episode:
■ The impact social media usage has on emotion dysregulation (and the reason behind my current digital detox)
■ How my views have changed regarding getting a BPD diagnosis (and why I no longer take psychiatrists' word as the "gospel truth" and encourage anyone to get a second opinion after getting any psychiatric diagnosis)
■ How to find and interview a therapist (questions I ask mental health professionals to see if they're a good fit for me)
■ How to do a social media detox the right way (without splitting)
■ Tips on cleansing your social media feeds (that actually work)
■ Telling parents you have BPD (should you do it, and how should you approach these conversations?)
■ Tips for managing emotion dysregulation in new relationships (why it can sometimes feel like your relationships never work)
■ When love becomes an addiction: limerence and emotion dysregulation (is there a link?)
