@Law Notes Hey, thought I’d chime in: I have BPD and was in a relationship with a woman I was 100% certain I was going to marry. Our relationship ended when she cheated on me with her “guy best friend,” and then started dating him shortly after, discarding me like I was nothing. My partner-despite not having BPD-cheated, left me, and ruined my life; so I’ve been in the same boat as you. It’s also worth mentioning that even though I have BPD, the thought of cheating on a partner has never crossed my mind, even at my lowest points. Now, I get that you’re probably really frustrated about the situation with your ex, and that they probably attributed their shitty, life-shattering decisions to their BPD. However, nobody is saying that just because someone has BPD, means they don’t have to take responsibility or face consequences for negative actions they may commit as a result of the mental illness. It seems like your ex might have been hiding behind their BPD to avoid having to take responsibility for their actions, but please don’t assume that literally every other person with BPD acts the same way just based off your personal experiences (or /r/BPDLovedOnes threads on Reddit). The reason so many people with BPD (myself included) flock to these videos is because we understand that we’ve been hurting ourselves and the people around us. These videos are a great source of information for people with BPD, whether they’re using them to gain access to treatment, or if they’re using them to learn more about the disorder as a supplement to DBT, medication, a support group, etc. We actually want to take responsibility for ourselves and get better so we don’t have to keep struggling, and so the people who love and support us can have peace of mind. I think it’s fair to say that your ex wasn’t thinking much about how their actions would affect you (and the other family involved), and that they were acting very self-centered. I also bet there are plenty of other untreated, under-treated, or undiagnosed people with BPD in society who are still struggling to manage their mental illness. Although, calling ALL of them “evil people” who “won’t think twice” about cheating on someone will only discourage people from seeking treatment and working towards getting better. Talk as much shit about your ex as you want. They did something terrible to you, and you have every right to be upset, but please don’t use that as an opportunity to add to the stigma already associated with BPD. We weren’t the ones who hurt you. I hope things get better for you, and that you have a nice day.

What an amazing young lady! Her story has given me a reason to hope. My sixteen year old daughter has been diagnosed with all the symptoms of BPD since January 2019. We know they can’t formally diagnose her until 18 but she sees her therapist twice a week to work on DBT and anything else she needs to work on. Between the medications and therapy, we’ve seen a huge difference already. It’s been terrifying for her not knowing what was happening to her for the last couple years. We felt hopeless at times and worried for her safety every moment of the day. We found a wonderful psychologist and psychiatrist that have connected with her. It’s made this frightening journey much more bearable as the months go by. Thank you for sharing her inspirational story with us.

I also suffer from BPD. Until this video I thought nothing of talking to myself out loud (when alone) as if I was another person reminding myself of things that just happened when I'm angry or things don't go my way. Like, I break off into a second person talking to myself. Most people can't understand the daily suffering involved in living with BPD. At 51 years old, I've only recently discovered this has been a problem my whole life. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder many many years ago, and doctors treated me with all kinds of meds that were treating the wrong things and never worked for me. Last year, I attempted suicide, coming very close to success. I ended up being tazed then shot by police 4 times and then going to jail for 52 days. I now segregate myself from society and only communicate with my father pretty much. I've been self-treating myself, watching these videos constantly and reading up on BPD since my doctors are pretty much useless at this point. These videos do me more good than all of the counselors and therapists and psychiatrists I've had over the years throughout the majority of my life.

It seems we as a society had to start coming to terms with the anguish of mental illness and how it effects a persons relationship with themselves and others. Your personal courage has opened the door to living in the solution. There’s always a few brave souls who harness the power of love and show us how we can overcome stigma and strive towards acceptance of ourselves and step out of shame and isolation into the healing process of loving support and connection. Again thank you. I’ve been on my own healing journey for the past 31 years and it hasn’t been easy by any stretch of the imagination. But you can bet your a** it’s been worth it. 🍎💜💯🙌🏽

Omg you are an amazing woman. You’re helping a lot of people with your honesty, responsibility and acceptance. Lots of love❤️

Another amazing interview/series by Kyle Kittleson. Wow, Sammie-Marie Grimm, girl, you're tenacity and the ability to take that determination for wellness actionable is inspirational!

You are so inspiring Sammy! You give me hope and motivation to keep getting better :)

The best gift my mother gave me was empathy, as a person diagnosed with this I am grateful of that at the least. this video is very satiating and I hope I can find as much support in the future.

Her story will and is impacting my life so much. Things are clicking with me. Thank you so much!!

Just diagnosed with BPD and I really appreciate this 💗💕

Your story is helping me to understand my partner. Thank you so much for sharing. I was on self harm watch at the hospital a few weeks ago. I didn’t know what was happening with my partner & me. But since then I’ve been learning a lot & have hope now. Hearing your experience is a guiding light for someone in my position. Thankyou

THAT guy is a gem. He helped a lot with this process, u can see how much his committed to it.

It is so special when someone is willing to share their story 💕

the guests were great! thanks for giving them a platform to share their story.

Thank You 💕💕💕 The three of you are amazing!!!💕💕💕

Thank you Sammie for sharing your testimony. God bless you!

I pray my girl comes back and helps me find my way me and pushes me forward. She was my rock and I destroyed everything she had towards me over 4 years. I wish I could go back and get a grip sooner. She is was important but me fucked up and all couldn't express it I guess. The abandonment feeling is so hard to deal with 💔

I was just diagnosed bpd, and I have to say thank you so much for your transparency and vulnerability. I am very open with my psychologist but the one thing I have held back on telling her is about the voices. I felt so crazy and would disconnect myself so Its like I can just PRETEND i don’t hear them. My voices are cruel though, and they talk over me, like when I’m having a conversation they will interrupt me and I’ll almost find myself talking to myself instead saying what your saying doesn’t matter or make any sense and then I will actually forget what I was saying mid conversation to the other person. I Thank you so much for this content.

Last night I had an episode, my boyfriend is so caring and understanding, everytime I have an episode I get extremely depressed, I have stopped drinking because I am also an alcoholic, to bet better you have to actually try your very hardest and no excuses. Will be ordering DBT Workbook today! Kudos to this young lady

Sammy you are an inspiration! Thank you for being so transparent! God bless you and your man.....what a blessing!!

Chronic Instability in Childhood caused by Narcissism. THE Word "Chronic Instability" Is so helpful!! THANK YOU!!

❤ loving this series

Kyle interviewing Brian and Sammy has made my day. As a vegan following Brian on his channel has blessed me over a long period of time. So special to know more about Sammy

that is why I still believe as a women and psychotherapist that without empathy and love and passion we end up nowhere....so thankful to you Kyle for what you are doing in life and to beautiful couple!

The way she describes the voices is so accurate to my own experiences.

Thank you for sharing!!!!!!! You are a beautiful person (inside and out) Sammy. Best wishes for you and all that you love.

Suffer what is to suffer and enjoy what is to enjoy. I'm not afraid to die. It feels much lighter now. I'm a soul, and I can't die.
