Writing and speaking about my life with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.
I'm the author of Talking About BPD: A Stigma Free Guide to a Calmer, Happier Life with BPD, published by JKP. I never want anyone to feel as ashamed or as isolated as I once did.
My second book, a reflective workbook on identity, relationships and possibilities for feeling positively about who you are when you have a stigmatised diagnosis like BPD, is coming out soon.
Many moons ago I won a Mind Media Award for my work. I'm still longing for— and working towards— a world where people with this diagnosis feel affirmation for who they are.
My name's Rosie Cappuccino. I write and speak about my life with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. As you might know, BPD is one of the most stigmatised, misunderstood and also contentious mental health diagnoses.
I write and speak about being a person who feels emotions intensely and who cares deeply about others and my relationships. But it's not just that though.
My recurring themes relate to my experience of living with such a stigmatised diagnosis: silence and speaking, connection and disconnection, stigma and identity, shame, language, relationships, honesty and trust.
