Why can losing someone feel like losing your entire world when you have BPD?
In this minisode, Xannie, Katja, Carys, and Justin answer a viewer’s question about why lacking a stable sense of identity can make loss feel so devastating. Through personal experiences, they explore what happens when your sense of self depends on people or things outside your control, and how developing your own identity can help you navigate grief without feeling completely consumed by it.
Topics discussed: BPD identity disturbance, fear of loss, chronic emptiness, relationship dependence, personal values, mindfulness, BPD recovery.
