Borderline Personality Disorder: A Personal Essay

Sam Hayler

Impulsive BDP


From the classroom to the psych ward to the stage to the voice-over booth where I recorded this episode, this is my story of not just surviving, but living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Whether you have your own BPD diagnosis, or know someone else who does, I hope that hearing some of my experiences, and more importantly, what I have learned from them, can be of some use and/or comfort. In order to navigate this very serious and potentially triggering subject matter, I will be using the only sense of mine that I can truly rely on: humour. Don't expect a tight five, though. If anything, you'll get a loose-ish twelve. I'm not a comedian, after all. I'm also not an expert. I'm just a mentally ill writer who craves attention and validation from strangers on the internet. What are you waiting for? Give it to me. Listener discretion is advised.
