Simone: Living with BPD, ADHD, Autism and Family Chaos
About this episode
Simone discusses her experiences with mental health challenges and a chaotic family environment.
Simone shares her struggles with a dysfunctional family dynamic. Diagnosed with recurring depression and BPD, she wonders if ADHD and autism might better explain her experiences. Raised by a distant, sometimes violent father and an emotionally unstable mother, Simone was thrust into a caretaker role, trying to stabilise her mother's moods. She describes a family environment fraught with emotional dysregulation, a lack of boundaries, and a strong enmeshment, especially with her father's side. This upbringing left her feeling overwhelmed by responsibility and struggling with personal boundaries and self-worth.
