In this episode, we sit down with a bold, brave voice in the BPD community who also goes by the name King Skies. His story is one of pain, poetry, and perseverance. From childhood group homes to emotional misdiagnoses, he takes us on a journey through the chaos and confusion of life with Borderline Personality Disorder — and how the moment one therapist’s encouragement changed everything and music quite literally saved his life.
