The Positives of Social Media: BBC Stories Video

I took part in a BBC Stories video about borderline personality disorder (BPD) and social media with my friend Kathryn.

I am so grateful for all of the supportive messages I've received since the video came out earlier this week. It makes me really happy to hear that the video has helped a number of people with BPD feel more seen and less alone.

Thank you Benita Barden, Bryony Hopkins and the BBC Stories team for giving me the opportunity to talk on camera. BPD remains an often misunderstood condition, so I hope the video helps more people to understand BPD.
