Advice for 'Young' People

Today, October 10th, is World Mental Health Day. I decided to record this episode to share some things I've learned about living with BPD, mainly targeted towards those who are just beginning to explore their own mental health, i.e teens/early 20s folks, and might need some encouragement. I asked people on my Instagram stories @journey.bound for things they'd want to tell their younger self and formed this episode out of those replies. If you walk away with anything from this talk, I hope it is to remember to be kind to yourself and know that you are not alone. Sometimes when we are struggling, we think that no one else can possibly understand what is going on with us but that isn't true; so many people are feeling overwhelmed with life and the more we open up about our struggles, the more we can lean on each other for support. You are TRULY not alone. I love you for all that you are and all you will be 💕
