Substance Abuse & Addiction

2/3rds of people with BPD will struggle with Substance Abuse & Addiction issues. With the warmer weather and people starting to get excited for lockdowns to end, many of us will be put in situations where we can't hide our addictions any longer. This episode is to encourage you, spread awareness about the connection between BPD and addiction, and hopefully let you know that you are not alone in your struggles. From being addicted to food, self harm, or alcohol/drugs, addiction touches so many people in so many different ways and creates real harm for our bodies, our minds, and our relationships to the people we love.
