Fan Mail

Hi, my name is Jennifer, im 43, and recently, I found you on Spotify. Thank you. In 2023, my psychiatrist told me I had multiple traits of borderline personality disorder. But he didn't want to slap a diagnosis in my chart because it's really complicated. I've struggled my whole life feeling different, misplaced, like I don't belong.

I disconnect when over stressed and check out. I'm so happy I found you guys. I'm just seeking guidance and understanding.
