  • In Episode 2 of Out of the Box Project Kyle reflects on the positive feedback from his first episode, especially from someone he respects, Christian. He acknowledges the constructive criticism about his self-deprecating tendencies and vows to improve.

    The main focus of this episode is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which Kyle describes as the core of his mental health challenges. He shares his struggles with a new medication that caused severe side effects, leading to adjustments in his treatment plan. Kyle emphasizes the importance of finding the right medication balance, despite the frustration of taking multiple pills daily.

    Kyle introduces BPD with a powerful quote from Marsha Linehan, comparing those with BPD to third-degree burn patients who feel emotions intensely. He discusses the stigma and misdiagnosis often associated with BPD and shares his personal experience of being diagnosed only three years ago, after nearly two decades of undiagnosed symptoms.

    He outlines the nine criteria for BPD, explaining how each one applies to him, including fears of abandonment, unstable relationships, identity issues, impulsivity, suicidal behavior, mood instability, chronic emptiness, intense anger, and dissociation. Kyle identifies as a "quiet borderline," internalizing his symptoms rather than expressing them outwardly.

    Throughout the episode, Kyle's candid discussion offers listeners a raw and honest look into living with BPD, making it a powerful and relatable conversation.
