From Borderline to Beautiful: Melanie's Story

Borderline Personality Disorder is no longer considered a chronic
illness. You can lead a great life with a sensitive, intense,
hyperbolic... or any temperament for that matter with hard work,
grit, endurance, tenacity, and the willingness to get
uncomfortable. In this episode, we welcome Melanie to the show!
Melanie has climbed many rungs on her ladder of recovery and wanted
to share her story. Melanie has worked hard at honest self
reflection, integrity, self discipline, truth and humility. She
continues to show up each week ready to learn and grow. Melanie
embodies the idea of moving from borderline to beautiful. Strength
through adversity can absolutely be achieved. If you question an
individual's ability to recover, or if you are a clinician
questioning whether you should disclose the diagnose to your
clients and their respective loved ones, listen to Melanie's story.
There is hope! Thank you, Mel.  This week there is a new ad on
the show. My very close friend, Cara, is needing help to raise
money for the Hermanus Christian Academy in Africa. Her father has
been an integral part of this school as a volunteer for many years.
Unfortunately, South Africa has a 35% unemployment rate, making
daily living difficult for refugees. The school provides a safe
haven for over 115 children from refugee families. 100% of
donations will be received by the school and will go towards
underpaid teachers, school curriculum, and the increasing utility
bills. (The water bill has increased by 500% over the past month!)
If you are looking for a cause to support, please consider donating
to this academy. You can find the link here:

Remember to spread the word that BPD/CPTSD/EUPD are all disorders

endurance, and hard work! Contact us today at 1-844-9-THRIVE.
