AVERY WILL RETURN IN 2025

Quiet, Not Silent is a podcast dedicated to exploring recovery while living with Borderline Personality Disorder.


I'm Avery (they/them), and I live with quiet (discouraged) BPD. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2019 at 24 years old. After reading about Millon's subtypes, I was finally able to understand the way I had been coping with this mental health condition.


The subtypes have been an effective describing tool for many people with BPD to better explain their own experiences and coping mechanisms. After all, no two people experience BPD the exact same way.


Since 2021, I've been compelled to break the silence that stigma traps us in, and speak up on my experiences with this hidden subtype.

So, here I am: quiet, not silent.

Becoming a BPD Wayfarer, Pt. 1: Calibrating Your Emotional Compass

Becoming a BPD Wayfarer, Pt. 1: Calibrating Your Emotional Compass

Imagine yourself as a wayfarer, looking to embark on a journey through an emotional inner landscape. As people with BPD, we often feel lost, and for many of us, we begin our journey after being in the depths of despair, where the path ahead of us is shrouded in mist, making us uncertain of our next steps.


Imagine emotions as points on a compass, representing different feelings like joy, sadness, anger, and fear. People who have a high level of emotional awareness can navigate this emotional landscape with ease, recognizing and identifying each emotional point on the compass. Their emotional compass is finely tuned, allowing them to accurately read their emotions and understand what they're feeling.

On the other hand, people with BPD tend to have a less precise emotional compass. It's as if their compass is missing some of the markers or has a weak signal.


This episode is about calibrating our emotional compass: when you learn how to recognize your feelings and then put words to them, you become that much more in control of your journey.


  • What is Alexithymia?
  • Why do people suppress their emotions?
  • Why do we need to feel our emotions in order to heal?
  • How do I get more comfortable feeling my emotions?
  • What if I never stop crying?
  • What gets better when you learn to identify your emotions?
  • How do I become mindful of current emotions?
  • How do I create a safe space for myself?
