~Trigger Warning: Suicide Talk~
On today’s episode, Eileen opens up about her own mental health journey. She walks us through her borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis and the wild goose chase she went on to get it — beginning with her life pre-diagnosis and her misinterpretation of her own symptoms. Later, she discusses the BPD diagnosis itself, the relief she felt after getting it, the treatment she received, and what it means that she no longer meets criteria for the disorder.

0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
0:04.1 | Welcome to Going Mental. This is your host, |
0:06.5 | Eileen Kelly. I'm interested in the things many of us face, |
0:10.4 | but don't always talk about. On the show, not only will I be sharing more about my own |
0:14.9 | anxiety as in depression but I'm also going to be talking to a wide range of guests about their |
0:19.6 | own mental health journeys along with professionals we're going to help educate you and |
0:23.8 | me on the ins and outs of mental illness. Can't wait for you to hear what's in |

0:58.0 | and kind of walk you through the treatment and where I'm at now. So I hope you enjoy this episode. |
1:04.0 | Hi guys, so welcome to today's episode. |
1:08.0 | I wanted to do this episode on my diagnosis, how I got diagnosed, what my diagnosis is. |
1:18.6 | Obviously this is a mental health podcast and I feel like I spend so much time interviewing other people about their |
1:25.0 | mental health journeys because ultimately it's a lot easier to talk to other |
1:30.0 | people about what's going on with them than to be vulnerable and open about your own |
1:35.0 | shit. So I kind of wanted to start this off by talking through something that's |
1:40.9 | extremely vulnerable in through something that's extremely |
1:49.2 | and intimate about myself and something that I have |
1:57.6 | talked about publicly here and there, but I feel like I haven't done an entire episode really on my diagnosis, how I got diagnosed, previously being misdiagnosed, all of these things. |
