Writing and speaking about my life with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.
Writing and speaking
BBC Stories
A few years ago, I took part in a BBC Stories film called 'Dealing with Emotions: Borderline Personality Disorder' with one of my closest friends, Kathryn.
Podcasts
I've enjoyed being a guest on number of podcasts and radio shows over the years. For an in-depth delve into my experiences, how I came to be diagnosed with BPD, the stigma and more, I recommend these:
-
Royal College of Psychiatry series on 'personality disorder' (forthcoming)
-
All In The Mind, Australian Broadcasting Company (forthcoming)
Happiful Magazine
I've written a handful of articles for Happiful Magazine on topics ranging from supporting friends in crisis, embarrassment to self-stigma. I also enjoyed writer and academic Maxine Ali's article on poetry and mental health in which I was featured.
Other articles
I've written various other articles, and made some vlogs, for mental health websites and magazines such as Healthy Place.
Selected talks and events
Over the years I've given various talks about my experiences at a number of organisations including the University Mental Health Advisor Network, Brighton and Sussex Medical Students Society and King's College London Medical Humanities events at the Gordon Museum of Pathology for London Creativity and Well-being Week.
