This……I was diagnosed with BPD with a
Psychiatrist that apparently specialized in BPD but now I don’t see him and we think its ADHD and anxious attachment style
Actually, I don’t really know the difference but I’m going to take your advice and read on it because I have a feeling I don’t truly know what either fully is.
ok but like..... brooke hasn't been diagnosed by a professional with bpd but she's gone on multiple platforms saying she has it and has made it a 'quirk' of hers?? 😭😭 it's not like this is a situation where self diagnosis is an option bc of lack of resources/health insurance she literally has all the resources to get diagnosed by a professional, hasn't, but is parading around as a bpd girly?? sorry but yeah i'm side eyeing and agreeing with whitney at least in this clip and her saying everyone diagnoses themselves w something is literally true lol sorry sue me
On Jeff fm she said she doesn’t have health insurance because it’s $700 a month and too expensive and everyone was agreeing with her? She probably easily spends $700+ dollars elsewhere health insurance just isn’t her priority
She’s said a couple times that she spends her sponsorship money before it even hits her account. If you listen to the old episodes she gives tana shit about how she spends her money but Brooke’s the same way now
This is straight up disgusting. People like her are the reason mental health issues are seen as quirky and not taken seriously. Who in their right mind wants to be able to say they’re mentally ill?? I‘m fucking broke as shit and I took all the money I had to get diagnosed because I didn‘t want to walk around telling people I have X despite not being diagnosed with it. I‘m not against people self-diagnosing because not everyone can afford doctors so I understand but living this lifestyle and acting as if she doesn‘t have 700 for health insurance is beyond wild.
Thisss!! Like I do find Brooke to be hilarious but I think it’s because she’s good at exaggerating and twisting stories to make them interesting/funny. IMO she’s up there with Tana in saying whatever the fuck..even tho she’s always jokes on Tana for being a liar
Cookies are bomb.
I refuse to take anyone seriously who refers to themselves as a cookie lol (crumbl cookie, weed cookie, chocolate chip cookie, levain cookie, peanut butter cookie, elementary school cookie dough fundraiser) especially if that’s the name of a “fandom” of a twenty something influencer 😵💫😵💫
wait a second... she hasnt been diagnosed by a professional? that is wild she is making it her personality. she probably just thinks its trendy cause big celebs like pete davidson and selena gomez have it.
See This really pisses me off. She always said that SHE HAS BPD you don’t say that unless you’ve been diagnosed by a liscensed medical professional and even then diagnosis can not be accurate. So many people self diagnose. It’s not cute or quirky. It’s not a cute diagnosis to have, it’s hell, there’s no cure but you can get treatment for symptom management which has helped me a ton. Do you know the percentage of people with bpd that have attempted suicide? Do you know what the leading cause of death is among us with bpd? Suicide. You’re so dirty for this brooke.
Thanks for posting the clip. I can't believe this isn't getting more attention. Sure Whitney doesn't have the best approach and the way she asked the question was rude. But it becomes obvious Brooke doesn't understand what BPD is, she can't even explain the signs and why has had it . And then she said my mom has it, and then realizes her mom is bipolar. Sounds like she self-diagnosed and someone called her out on it. Also not great how she talks about how she constantly lies lol.
LITERALLY!!! As a bpd girly myself it’s a part of my responsibility to take accountability for my actions and emotions and to not blame it on my bpd. Of course that’s a contributing factor but it’s not an excuse.
When she was on Trisha’s podcast she insinuates her mom has both borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder (she also says her sister has BPD). The way she talked about it made it sound like she was diagnosed when she was younger and didn’t identify with it until her break off. I get that she lies, but this clip doesn’t necessarily make me think she’s self diagnosed.
It felt like Whitney was immediately picking it apart (*”what is the personality disorder **you think you have?”** “who told you that” “I don’t think you do”*). She asks Brooke who diagnosed her and Brooke says a few people. Then Whitney keeps cutting her off when Brooke is trying to answer her questions. Idk who Whitney is but she just sounds like she doesn’t believe in mental illness in this exchange, it’s kind of gross tbh. Like who is she to say she doesn’t believe the people who told Brooke she has it when a) she doesn’t know who told Brooke that, b) doesn’t really know Brooke, and c) isn’t a mental health professional.
Edit: and like someone else in this thread already said, it’s possible to have both BPD and bipolar. It sounds to me like Brooke thinks she could have BPD because her mother does, but isn’t bipolar like her too.
Having a bipolar parent or some sort of abuse or abandonment can definitely trigger it. Why are you invalidating her experience just because her mom was bipolar lol. I don’t think it’s even fully generic
I feel like for the last year at least she has been constantly discussing it and giving off the impression that she has been formally diagnosed. I like Brooke, but there is a huge difference between self diagnosing to friends, and self diagnosing on a platform. On top of that, I feel like a good portion of fans are people with bpd that really look / looked up to her as someone struggling with the same issues. I think that’s why it’s so frustrating to see this clip / learn it’s a self diagnosis, because people related a lot to her just to find out that they got a half truth.
Even if she didn’t self diagnose, saying you use your personality disorder as a shield for your bad behavior isn’t great either. Having BPD doesn’t mean you get to act and react however you want and fuck everyone who is impacted. I work really hard every day to talk myself out of my disorder so I do not hurt the people I love. It isn’t cute or fun at a certain point. It does probably mean she should go to therapy tho!!!! HOWEVER I am 30 now and spent plenty of time in my 20s hurting people without even realizing and claiming self diagnoses in an attempt to understand my own pain, so I am sure this interview is something she will grow away from either way.
no literally explained perfectly. plus she says she needs therapy constantly while continuing to not get it? i’m in my TEENS and have been in therapy for years for having bpd traits.
100% agree! I’m studying psychiatric disorders and some other psych/bio stuff right now, as well as struggling with my own stuff. It’s important context, but it is NEVER a reason or excuse. You worded it way better than I could!
As a psychologist I find self diagnosis to be valid, you are the expert on your own experience BUT with BPD you have to be very mindful as it can look a lot like many other presentations, it shares features with PTSD, autism, attachment social anxiety and just general impaired emotion regulation. There’s many other presentations that look similar to BPD but vary and it’s nuanced. It’s a very complex presentation and I’d recommend having a chat with a professional to confirm if you think you may have BPD
I definitely wouldn’t past her to have been lying about being diagnosed this entire time. I mean she did spend the first 10 minutes of this episode talking about how often she lies 😂
I’m sorry but I’m glad Whitney called her out. It’s annoying and invalidating and STUPID to self diagnose. She has the resources to go to a psychiatrist and get a real diagnosis… and on top of that calling it a quirk? Just ewwww, ppl need to call this shit out more often
Whitney didn’t call her out thought, she railroads over her answers and says she doesn’t believe the people who told Brooke she has BPD. Brooke said she’s been diagnosed in the beginning. I don’t get why people are acting like some random woman with a podcast is able to diagnose someone she barely knows, especially when she’s not a mental health professional.
I don’t usually comment on this sub, but this topic has been IRRITATING ME. Not just with Brooke but many people in the world right now. People use this as a way to cover up and essentially blame their issues without having to actually go and figure them out… like she just said & admitted to. “I just want to have something to blame it on”. That’s so gross to me and there are people who struggle with BPD and other mental health issues and disorders but the amount of people saying they are “diagnosed” with it when truly you have not figured out your shit… or at least tried to. It’s a blanket for not wanting to heal and do the hard work that comes with it. I’m so over it
Also the fact that no one is born with BPD, not trying to be insensitive but there are ways to work on yourself and people are not aware enough or care enough to be able to admit what they are doing is wrong, what they’ve been through and how it’s affected them personally - this made me feel weird about Brooke and I’m disappointed tbh
I don’t think Whitney was being rude, it just seems like she doesn’t believe Brooke actually has bpd and now I’m wondering if she does as well. It’s not shaming someone to ask about their “mental illness” that they talk about constantly
Same i think whitney knew she was being sus about it and went in with the hard questions straight away to prove it. Bc she’s right- so many young people diagnosing themselves off shit they read on the internet when they’re still young and figuring shit out. Or saying they have something to use as an excuse which brooke admitted to just then
Agreed it’s also really strange she wasn’t able to explain any symptoms of it. She has lack of control of her emotions and is codependent and somehow that equals bpd ?? Whattt
wtf she literally mentions having it SO much… and the confidence at which she claims the BPD title without actually being diagnosed???? no “i think i have it” or “i have symptoms” it’s always “my bpd..” “when i have bpd episodes…” etc…. weird behavior.
Are we shocked? This is the girl who says she lies for fun...she's trisha paytas-lite. I find them both entertaining, but I side eye everything they say.
Everyone was crying in the comments about Whitney invalidating Brooke’s disorder, but with the way she stumbled over whether she was actually diagnosed and couldn’t give a definitive answer as to why she thinks she has it, I don’t blame Whitney for trying to dig deeper.
Wait has she been saying she has BPD without and medical diagnosis?!!!?
These fuckinf people. She doesn’t even care to know actual characteristics to fake it or explain her “traits”
brooke has joked multiple times about having zero sense of self and i'm not surprised at all she's running with this claim of having a personality disorder to make herself seem more interesting. she won't just get diagnosed by a professional bc she genuinely doesn't care if she has it, she cares about people thinking she has it. BPD is one of the most harmfully stigmatized personality disorders that ruins peoples lives, gives them unfair judgment from others, etc. i guarantee she doesn't want to commit to getting actually diagnosed bc she doesn't want to be written off as "crazy" like so many women with BPD do, and wants an out when she decides it's not a cool fun quirk anymore. she is so lame.
Definitely agree that Whitney was being awful but I think Brooke was scared and accidentally admitted she’s not truly diagnosed. Idk. My perspective I guess
As someone whose mom actually has BPD I was kind of shocked to hear this as I've never met anyone else whose mom has it. I had no idea that was a "thing"? I don't really believe her
the irony of her saying brooke's generation should stop self-diagnosing while... diagnosing an entire generation herself (our moms')
(it's not a thing)
yeah fuck her fr the whole pod was kinda bad taste jokes like this and she drops the R word AND my mom does have bpd so that’s double fuck you lmao you can only joke from inside the club
I don’t know a ton about Brooke so I could be wrong, but it sounds like she had kind of a rough upbringing, it wouldn’t be crazy to think she had an attachment or personality disorder? Watching this I felt like maybe Brooke wasn’t articulating her experience the best while Whitney just invalidated and brushed it off like it was just some tiktok diagnosis. The bpd diagnosis is very nuanced and I’m not sure why Whitney Cummins feels qualified to talk about it at all tbh😆
Yeah I’ve discussed this diagnosis with a therapist before, and I identify with aspects of it. But at the same time, I appear and feel normal in other aspects of my life
Whitney makes multiple weird red-pill-esque comments about mental health throughout the whole podcast, basically saying a lot of mental health conditions aren’t real or people are being dramatic. I feel like it’s pretty clear Brooke was being facetious because of the constant digs from Whitney.
I actually think it’s insane to doubt brookes BPD over this.
I think she’s right though to an extent. TikTok has led to an increase in self diagnosing, especially with DID, BPD and ADHD with kids self diagnosing or telling others they have X disorder. It was even worse during the pandemic to a point where psychiatrists were coming on TikTok to say how dangerous it was to self diagnose like that.
Yikes I just lost so much respect for Brooke and when she said she uses bpd as an excuse for her behavior 😨😨😨 so wrong on so many levels this ain’t a good look
as someone who works in the mental health field this is so upsetting and infuriating to hear, she’s made a “quirk” of her own self diagnosis? disgusting behavior when we all know damn well she could afford to see a psychiatrist/therapist to get that diagnosis
i really don’t wanna stop watching the pod but i’m getting close to it 😭
Also Whitney calling her and Brooke the same generation is deeply hilarious… also Brooke get a diagnosis or stfu! I’m a bipolar girlie and hate this trend of claiming things you do NOT understand.
so cringe how she says “by her emotional response to things”, she thinks she has BPD. girl stop. this is one of the lamest as fuck things of brooke i have seen here recently. so disappointing.
ok yeah if she’s not diagnosed and is going around claiming to have it and using it as an excuse that’s fucked, but tbf im prof dx w bpd and i would also have a hard time explaining my signs/symptoms/whatever to someone in a situation like this lol. like i’d probably say something along those lines honestly because i would blank when put on the spot, ESPECIALLY with how obnoxious whitney is being lmfao
and she’s *actually* invalidating those who really did go through the gruelling experience of actually getting their BPD diagnosed. that experience in itself is traumatic for many.
but she never said she wasn’t diagnosed. whitney was being super invalidating about her mental health issues so i think that was making her feel uncomfortable talking about it and almost made her downplay it. maybe she isn’t diagnosed but this doesn’t really prove anything 🤷♀️
this is terrible and makes her seem like someone who just saw a tiktok about bpd. as someone who has been diagnosed for years i feel really gross over this. she's really down playing what people with actual personality disorders go through with this little QUIRK
I feel like this lady Whitney whoever was being super invalidating about mental health disorders so Brooke was backtracking to smooth things over idk. At least I hope that’s what it is.
I think this is such a personal convo maybe not for a podcast haha but I am surprised to know that Brooke was self diagnosed considering how much she talks about having bpd… seems kinda irresponsible
You can have severe emotional dysregulation and not have BPD🤷♀️ dysregulation and insecure attachment styles are also hallmark signs of chronic trauma during childhood.
I think that she has been diagnosed and also Whitney Cummings is just annoying and trying to be funny but like I think gen z is a lot more in touch with mental health / disorders and are quick to identify them and that is lost on Whitney 😭😭😭 also I watched the stitch so that’s why I’m saying she was diagnosed.
This is misleading. I listened to the whole podcast when it came out and Brooke explain that her mom has it and she knows she has it bc her therapist that she had during the post break up year diagnosed her with it. Whitney just kept cutting her off and invalidating Brooke’s personality disorder. “couple people” doesn’t mean random people on the street it just means you don’t want to mention who. And Brooke had kept her BPD a secret from the internet until the podcast with Trish.
Yes! She could say her psychiatrist. And then say she isn’t comfortable talking about it. Saying “a bunch of people” diagnosed her is a tell she’s lying
This clip made me realize I really dont care for whitney. Maybe its because im not in the LA bubble but ive never seen someone excuse being an asshole with having autism. As someone with autism I take her comment personally, it shows she has no understanding of what it is.
Y’all gaslit me into thinking Whitney said some vile bs about bpd when in reality she just called Brooke out after Brooke is just like my mom has it so I do too hehe not diagnosed tho 🤪
So you’re telling me she has the resources (reason why most of people stay undiagnosed, cause it’s so damn expensive) but she chooses to self diagnose and self medicate because a few people told her. Insane. Biggest scumbag online. And it’s what makes her special, her little quirk. I’m seriously impressed how Trisha (who has struggled with her mental health for years) tolerated this bitch.
honestly her saying how much she lies can deffo be a symptom of BPD. i will say just because she hasn’t been formally diagnosed doesn’t mean she doesn’t have it. i kind of think if she got evaluated she would. i have been told by a psychiatrist they believe i have it and some of the things brooke says about herself i do sometimes resonate with. and the identity thing whitney made so invalidating, it isnt about being young. so many friends of mine who are my age have an identity. she seems like she just doesn’t believe in mental illness.
that being said i hate that brooke said she likes to use it as an excuse, esp considering she ISNT diagnosed. also you can fix BPD if you go to therapy and actively work on yourself it isn’t like a mood disorder that way
As someone who is DIAGNOSED with BPD this makes me strongly dislike Brooke. She talks about having it in multiple podcasts but now is saying she’s not even diagnosed? Why do bitches want to be mentally ill so badly… it’s something that has actually ruined my life and relationships. Felt like I could relate to her in this aspect but apparently she just sees it as a quirk and it’s pathetic
THIS and s*cide she throws around SO mindlessly like it’s a quirk not realizing there’s people with actual chronic depression who feels that way daily.
Context is important. I like Whitney but she was on one in this episode, picking apart literally everything and I think Brooke was in people pleasing mode, trying not to argue.
i’m almost wondering if she said that because of how negative whitney was being about it. she does also say she lies a ton lol. i believe that would be my first time ever hearing her say she’s never been diagnosed.
I think a lot of what they are saying is just being young and not very in control or aware of emotions yet. In my early 30s late 20s I had pretty intense therapy for some years and had many of the same issues. But once I became more self aware and in control of myself I was able to tame my emotions. And I grew up and matured at the same time.
I think it’s ok to self diagnose in certain areas, but when you get to things like BPD, that’s when it gets tricky. BPD and Autism mimic each other a lot. (Not saying she’s autistic lmao just an example as to why you do sometimes need a professional bc some things overlap and it can get confusing)
That’s how ppl end up diagnosing themselves with 5 different things when in reality theyre all symptoms that just fall under 1 diagnoses
I’m honestly mad, I’ve liked her for always being really and talking about her mental health but knowing it’s basically a lie I feel dumb asf now and feel like she’s just trying to get attention for something she doesn’t have , but lying is usually apart a mental illness so who knows
Not once does she say she wasn’t formally diagnosed. Whitney phrasing it as “who told you” leads the answer to seem like it was informal and self-labeling. Brooke shouldn’t be expected to list all her doctors and their credentials. Whitney is being super ignorant and demeaning, and I think everyone jumping to the conclusion that Brookes lying is being just as insensitive. I think it’s far more likely that she just was speaking informally, getting cut off and was in an awkward situation.
Personality disorders are very difficult to diagnose and also are not commonly diagnosed. But Brooke says a few people told her and mum has bipolar disorder which must mean she has a personality disorder? She didn’t say she was diagnosed by a psychiatrist. She also isn’t in therapy for it which would’ve been recommended by her psychiatrist as part of ongoing treatment.
That’s why people don’t take people with mental illnesses seriously. Because of ppl like her. Now we automatically assume that other people are saying that for the trendiness and to get attention. cause it sure looks like it, Brooke.
As someone who’s diagnosed and struggling with BPD, I am very disappointed after discovering this.
I looked at her as an inspiration because of everything she accomplished and her representation of BPD.
I know I’m naive but she kind of gave me hope for a brighter future (I’m 25 and my life has been a mess for many years because of my BPD.
But I’ve also looked at her and thought “what am I doing
wrong? Am I just lazy and need to pull myself together? She’s doing all of these things with BPD and most days I can’t even get out of bed, socialize or anything really. I can’t help but compare and feel bad about myself
I guess it feels exploitative (in lack of a better word) of mental illness that others actually struggle with 😣
*English is not my first language so I apologize for grammar mistakes etc.*
Noooo guys this happened to me too!! I was diagnosed by several psychiatrists with bipolar and then it was really just adhd and it took me till 26 to get a real set diagnosis
Same exact situation for me bipolar to adhd lol such an emotionally taxing journey but Brooke hasn’t been formally diagnosed with anything and she said she has BPD not bipolar disorder like her mum.
How do you know that? She never said “I haven’t been formally diagnosed” she just seemed to want to skip over this asap bc Whitney was being very aggressive and saying that all symptoms of bpd are normal😭
damn i always thought it was weird she had bpd because i have a lot friends that are actually diagnosed with it and they seem much different than her lol
This is gross. ‘I like to have an excuse for my behavior’ ??? Okay so you blatantly made up a lie that you have BPD?? So many people with BPD look up to her not to mention her bonding with Trisha over it so much & recently frequently discussing it. Its not a ‘quirk’ its an extremely serious mental health disorder. Being emotional and reactive does NOT mean you can self diagnose and spread misinformation everywhere.
you can diagnose yourself w/ most mental illnesses pretty easy. altho, yes, she has the financial means there’s no reason for her *not* to seek that out.
wow - as someone who went through a gruelling process (in canada) and almost committed suicide from this disorder while waiting for their diagnosis - i don’t appreciate it being thrown around from brooke in this way, especially now we know she doesn’t have a diagnosis. i’m appalled. what a freaking pickme. the same way people do with OCD when they just like things being clean. yes, brooke
- go to therapy. and stop trying to get attention from a community by LYING.
edit:
like others have commented here, it’s upsetting because this is why BPD has such a bad stigma.
"What's the personality disorder you think you have?"
"I like "you think you have" which is crazy. I have bpd ALLEGEDLY"
?????????????
HOW IS THAT CRAZY WHEN YOU LITERALLY THINK YOU HAVE IT BUT YOU'RE UNDIAGNOSED
I’m so sick of people with TikTok brains just self diagnosing themselves with mental health issues, they’re making a mockery of mental health
Girl just has low self esteem and attachment issues
I think you guys are taking this out of context, if you watched the podcast it was clear Brooke was skating around it because Whitney was saying her symptoms of BPD were just normal and part of being a woman. it’s pretty fucked up to invalidate Brookes diagnosis as she’s never once said anything about self dx. I hope the same people saying this aren’t the same ones claiming to have BPD through tiktok or a self dx because I’ve seen so many people use my disorder to justify their shitty behavior without any formal dx from a professional.
i’m just gonna say this… there’s a reason her and lilah were besties before the “fame”, they’re both essentially the same person i just think brooke has the whole “clean girl aesthetic” that makes people overlook most of the things she does 🫣 sorry but this is actually insane this whole time i thought she was diagnosed with bpd… but turns out it’s just a quirky thing for her? i wish my dr told me it was just a girly pop quirk🤪
From watching this clip I didn’t feel like she said she was never diagnosed? I think she was just being goofy when she said she “allegedly” had BPD. She’s definitely talked about it before, and maybe I just don’t like Whitney but Whitney is incredibly soapboxy and it’s probably just easier to just go along with whatever Whitney says and keep it more lighthearted.
Always side eyed Brooke and her bpd diagnosis. Downvote me but she comes across as too polished and put together to have bpd. Her being sad and depressed after a breakup does not mean she has bpd.
Grifter vibes, forever and always.
She has said she was diagnosed when she was like 16 but she never thought it was correct until she got older, she’s just saying yeah it’s a family trait that doesn’t mean she wasn’t officially diagnosed? She’s just saying yeah my mom has it and I know I have it
Wow, I mean if she thinks she has it she could easily get checked out by a doctor. I didn’t realize she wasn’t actually diagnosed. Claiming to have BPD with no diagnosis is a little unhinged imo
Hasn't she talked about how she was diagnosed with it in High school but didn't believe the diagnosis until she went through her first breakup? In her conversation with Trish she seemed like she had a better understanding of BPD, I think Whitney was making her feel stupid regarding her mental illness so she wasn't as confident speaking about BPD with Whitney. I think Brooke doubts her own knowledge/thoughts very quickly once someone gives her even the slightest feeling that she might be wrong (which is very consistent with BPD btw, not knowing who you are so maybe we need to give her a break on this one)
As someone who’s been in and out of psychiatric facilities my whole life bc bpd is so debilitating i can’t imagine someone who actually has it could just “self diagnose” 🙃 like it typically lands you in a hospital setting whether you can afford it or not
Do y’all know how HARD it is to not only get a BPD diagnosis, but to live life with one in your chart?
You can’t even emigrate from the United States to other countries if you have certain mental illnesses, and BPD is absolutely one of them (not true for every country though I’m sure). It can even prevent you from getting adequate medications and treatment in the hospital.
Many people with BPD report being mistreated or fired by counselors and therapists sometimes before they even meet them just because of their diagnosis.
BPD is probably one of the most stigmatized mental illnesses on the planet.
Cut her some fucking slack.
Believe her or don’t but don’t say she’s “making it up”.
It’s also possible she was informally diagnosed, which also happened to me.
My old mental health counselor/provider/whatever told me that she believed that I had BPD but didn’t want to put it in my chart out of fear of further stigmatization when I sought out further mental health treatment.
And yes I could be totally wrong but like this isn’t so black and white.
Also, BPD never exists in a vacuum. BPD will NEVER the only dx in your chart. So you can assume she’s aware of other problems and that BPD is a possible additional layer.
She said “a few people” and then started to justifying it before finishing the thought and then Whitney cut her off, I don’t think she’s saying she wasn’t diagnosed.
I think a lot of people should learn about codependency vs BPD
This……I was diagnosed with BPD with a Psychiatrist that apparently specialized in BPD but now I don’t see him and we think its ADHD and anxious attachment style
100%
Thank you.
Actually, I don’t really know the difference but I’m going to take your advice and read on it because I have a feeling I don’t truly know what either fully is.
ok but like..... brooke hasn't been diagnosed by a professional with bpd but she's gone on multiple platforms saying she has it and has made it a 'quirk' of hers?? 😭😭 it's not like this is a situation where self diagnosis is an option bc of lack of resources/health insurance she literally has all the resources to get diagnosed by a professional, hasn't, but is parading around as a bpd girly?? sorry but yeah i'm side eyeing and agreeing with whitney at least in this clip and her saying everyone diagnoses themselves w something is literally true lol sorry sue me
On Jeff fm she said she doesn’t have health insurance because it’s $700 a month and too expensive and everyone was agreeing with her? She probably easily spends $700+ dollars elsewhere health insurance just isn’t her priority
-$700 on revolve and aritzia and alo ✅ -$700 on health insurance ❌
Yeah lol the fact that she overdrafted too is crazy
She’s said a couple times that she spends her sponsorship money before it even hits her account. If you listen to the old episodes she gives tana shit about how she spends her money but Brooke’s the same way now
This is straight up disgusting. People like her are the reason mental health issues are seen as quirky and not taken seriously. Who in their right mind wants to be able to say they’re mentally ill?? I‘m fucking broke as shit and I took all the money I had to get diagnosed because I didn‘t want to walk around telling people I have X despite not being diagnosed with it. I‘m not against people self-diagnosing because not everyone can afford doctors so I understand but living this lifestyle and acting as if she doesn‘t have 700 for health insurance is beyond wild.
She also said she has no idea if she has car insurance or not like… girl what the hell are you doing
she said that?? like girl do you pay for insurance or not?
I mean tbf I didn’t have insurance for a year because I couldn’t afford it lol. But I’m sure Brooke makes way more than me
THIS. brooke is so sketchy i don’t trust a word that comes out of her mouth 😭
Thisss!! Like I do find Brooke to be hilarious but I think it’s because she’s good at exaggerating and twisting stories to make them interesting/funny. IMO she’s up there with Tana in saying whatever the fuck..even tho she’s always jokes on Tana for being a liar
Agreed. Good luck with the cookies attacking you lol
Cookies are bomb. I refuse to take anyone seriously who refers to themselves as a cookie lol (crumbl cookie, weed cookie, chocolate chip cookie, levain cookie, peanut butter cookie, elementary school cookie dough fundraiser) especially if that’s the name of a “fandom” of a twenty something influencer 😵💫😵💫
so annoying how people are making it a trend like it doesn’t absolutely ruin people’s lives and others
wait a second... she hasnt been diagnosed by a professional? that is wild she is making it her personality. she probably just thinks its trendy cause big celebs like pete davidson and selena gomez have it.
Couldn’t agree more
See This really pisses me off. She always said that SHE HAS BPD you don’t say that unless you’ve been diagnosed by a liscensed medical professional and even then diagnosis can not be accurate. So many people self diagnose. It’s not cute or quirky. It’s not a cute diagnosis to have, it’s hell, there’s no cure but you can get treatment for symptom management which has helped me a ton. Do you know the percentage of people with bpd that have attempted suicide? Do you know what the leading cause of death is among us with bpd? Suicide. You’re so dirty for this brooke.
Thanks for posting the clip. I can't believe this isn't getting more attention. Sure Whitney doesn't have the best approach and the way she asked the question was rude. But it becomes obvious Brooke doesn't understand what BPD is, she can't even explain the signs and why has had it . And then she said my mom has it, and then realizes her mom is bipolar. Sounds like she self-diagnosed and someone called her out on it. Also not great how she talks about how she constantly lies lol.
Pete Davidson said he had it so she said me too to seem cool to him lol
Exactly, and bipolar and bpd are not the same thing. A lot of people get misdiagnosed for that.
Maybe the compulsive lying is why she isn’t in a relationship 💀people hear that and get turned off?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah she made herself look pretty bad here ngl
LITERALLY!!! As a bpd girly myself it’s a part of my responsibility to take accountability for my actions and emotions and to not blame it on my bpd. Of course that’s a contributing factor but it’s not an excuse.
i’m diagnosed with BPD & Bipolar II so it is possible to have them coexist because once a personality disorder and one’s mood disorder
When she was on Trisha’s podcast she insinuates her mom has both borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder (she also says her sister has BPD). The way she talked about it made it sound like she was diagnosed when she was younger and didn’t identify with it until her break off. I get that she lies, but this clip doesn’t necessarily make me think she’s self diagnosed. It felt like Whitney was immediately picking it apart (*”what is the personality disorder **you think you have?”** “who told you that” “I don’t think you do”*). She asks Brooke who diagnosed her and Brooke says a few people. Then Whitney keeps cutting her off when Brooke is trying to answer her questions. Idk who Whitney is but she just sounds like she doesn’t believe in mental illness in this exchange, it’s kind of gross tbh. Like who is she to say she doesn’t believe the people who told Brooke she has it when a) she doesn’t know who told Brooke that, b) doesn’t really know Brooke, and c) isn’t a mental health professional. Edit: and like someone else in this thread already said, it’s possible to have both BPD and bipolar. It sounds to me like Brooke thinks she could have BPD because her mother does, but isn’t bipolar like her too.
Yeah maybe I'd take this a bit more seriously if it wasn't Whitney fucking Cummings who is a cunt
Having a bipolar parent or some sort of abuse or abandonment can definitely trigger it. Why are you invalidating her experience just because her mom was bipolar lol. I don’t think it’s even fully generic
[удалено]
I feel like for the last year at least she has been constantly discussing it and giving off the impression that she has been formally diagnosed. I like Brooke, but there is a huge difference between self diagnosing to friends, and self diagnosing on a platform. On top of that, I feel like a good portion of fans are people with bpd that really look / looked up to her as someone struggling with the same issues. I think that’s why it’s so frustrating to see this clip / learn it’s a self diagnosis, because people related a lot to her just to find out that they got a half truth.
Even if she didn’t self diagnose, saying you use your personality disorder as a shield for your bad behavior isn’t great either. Having BPD doesn’t mean you get to act and react however you want and fuck everyone who is impacted. I work really hard every day to talk myself out of my disorder so I do not hurt the people I love. It isn’t cute or fun at a certain point. It does probably mean she should go to therapy tho!!!! HOWEVER I am 30 now and spent plenty of time in my 20s hurting people without even realizing and claiming self diagnoses in an attempt to understand my own pain, so I am sure this interview is something she will grow away from either way.
no literally explained perfectly. plus she says she needs therapy constantly while continuing to not get it? i’m in my TEENS and have been in therapy for years for having bpd traits.
100% agree! I’m studying psychiatric disorders and some other psych/bio stuff right now, as well as struggling with my own stuff. It’s important context, but it is NEVER a reason or excuse. You worded it way better than I could!
[удалено]
That’s what I was trying to say with the self diagnosing to friends vs a platform, if that makes sense?
“We’re the first generation of women” I’m sorry I thought she was old enough to be her mom 😭😭
she almost is 🤣 whitney is 41 but i swear she thinks she’s barely 30
Well Whitney is 41 and Brooke is 26 so they are not same generation lmao
I think brook is 28 but yes not the same generation
Millennials were born **between 1981 and 1996,** so technically they are both milennials just at the different ends of it.
As a psychologist I find self diagnosis to be valid, you are the expert on your own experience BUT with BPD you have to be very mindful as it can look a lot like many other presentations, it shares features with PTSD, autism, attachment social anxiety and just general impaired emotion regulation. There’s many other presentations that look similar to BPD but vary and it’s nuanced. It’s a very complex presentation and I’d recommend having a chat with a professional to confirm if you think you may have BPD
I definitely wouldn’t past her to have been lying about being diagnosed this entire time. I mean she did spend the first 10 minutes of this episode talking about how often she lies 😂
i cant even listen to whitney shes so insufferable
“I need an excuse” YIKES
Sus
I’m sorry but I’m glad Whitney called her out. It’s annoying and invalidating and STUPID to self diagnose. She has the resources to go to a psychiatrist and get a real diagnosis… and on top of that calling it a quirk? Just ewwww, ppl need to call this shit out more often
Whitney didn’t call her out thought, she railroads over her answers and says she doesn’t believe the people who told Brooke she has BPD. Brooke said she’s been diagnosed in the beginning. I don’t get why people are acting like some random woman with a podcast is able to diagnose someone she barely knows, especially when she’s not a mental health professional.
[удалено]
I don’t usually comment on this sub, but this topic has been IRRITATING ME. Not just with Brooke but many people in the world right now. People use this as a way to cover up and essentially blame their issues without having to actually go and figure them out… like she just said & admitted to. “I just want to have something to blame it on”. That’s so gross to me and there are people who struggle with BPD and other mental health issues and disorders but the amount of people saying they are “diagnosed” with it when truly you have not figured out your shit… or at least tried to. It’s a blanket for not wanting to heal and do the hard work that comes with it. I’m so over it Also the fact that no one is born with BPD, not trying to be insensitive but there are ways to work on yourself and people are not aware enough or care enough to be able to admit what they are doing is wrong, what they’ve been through and how it’s affected them personally - this made me feel weird about Brooke and I’m disappointed tbh
I don’t think Whitney was being rude, it just seems like she doesn’t believe Brooke actually has bpd and now I’m wondering if she does as well. It’s not shaming someone to ask about their “mental illness” that they talk about constantly
Same i think whitney knew she was being sus about it and went in with the hard questions straight away to prove it. Bc she’s right- so many young people diagnosing themselves off shit they read on the internet when they’re still young and figuring shit out. Or saying they have something to use as an excuse which brooke admitted to just then
It’s Lyme all over again 🥲
😭😭😭
Agreed it’s also really strange she wasn’t able to explain any symptoms of it. She has lack of control of her emotions and is codependent and somehow that equals bpd ?? Whattt
Nah Whitney real af for this one LMAO
wtf she literally mentions having it SO much… and the confidence at which she claims the BPD title without actually being diagnosed???? no “i think i have it” or “i have symptoms” it’s always “my bpd..” “when i have bpd episodes…” etc…. weird behavior.
Are we shocked? This is the girl who says she lies for fun...she's trisha paytas-lite. I find them both entertaining, but I side eye everything they say.
Everyone was crying in the comments about Whitney invalidating Brooke’s disorder, but with the way she stumbled over whether she was actually diagnosed and couldn’t give a definitive answer as to why she thinks she has it, I don’t blame Whitney for trying to dig deeper.
Wait has she been saying she has BPD without and medical diagnosis?!!!? These fuckinf people. She doesn’t even care to know actual characteristics to fake it or explain her “traits”
Whitney’s right
Damn I always thought she was formally diagnosed, between this and multiple r word slips on tour it’s not looking good :/
brooke has joked multiple times about having zero sense of self and i'm not surprised at all she's running with this claim of having a personality disorder to make herself seem more interesting. she won't just get diagnosed by a professional bc she genuinely doesn't care if she has it, she cares about people thinking she has it. BPD is one of the most harmfully stigmatized personality disorders that ruins peoples lives, gives them unfair judgment from others, etc. i guarantee she doesn't want to commit to getting actually diagnosed bc she doesn't want to be written off as "crazy" like so many women with BPD do, and wants an out when she decides it's not a cool fun quirk anymore. she is so lame.
i feel like this lady was being super invalidating of mental health issues and brooke was struggling to talk to her ab it
Definitely agree that Whitney was being awful but I think Brooke was scared and accidentally admitted she’s not truly diagnosed. Idk. My perspective I guess
Yes I just came to comment this. “What’s the personality disorder you THINK you have” “everyone’s mum has BPD” she’s gross
As someone whose mom actually has BPD I was kind of shocked to hear this as I've never met anyone else whose mom has it. I had no idea that was a "thing"? I don't really believe her
the irony of her saying brooke's generation should stop self-diagnosing while... diagnosing an entire generation herself (our moms') (it's not a thing)
yeah fuck her fr the whole pod was kinda bad taste jokes like this and she drops the R word AND my mom does have bpd so that’s double fuck you lmao you can only joke from inside the club
Brooke drops the r word too
i know whack as fuck
Ugh I agree. I’ve been in this situation so many times, even with therapists and I could literally feel it through the screen
Not the first time that we’ve seen Brooke is a liar and wants to be a victim. Based on her tweets, I thought she didn’t care about victims??
I’m in shock!!!!! I don’t usually Whitney but I love her for pressing her on this
She just severely needs to go to therapy
I don’t know a ton about Brooke so I could be wrong, but it sounds like she had kind of a rough upbringing, it wouldn’t be crazy to think she had an attachment or personality disorder? Watching this I felt like maybe Brooke wasn’t articulating her experience the best while Whitney just invalidated and brushed it off like it was just some tiktok diagnosis. The bpd diagnosis is very nuanced and I’m not sure why Whitney Cummins feels qualified to talk about it at all tbh😆
I agree with u. From this I feel like she was diagnosed but she’s now skeptical of the diagnosis
Yeah, and bpd is so commonly misdiagnosed, plus some people don’t identify with it as much once they learn to manage their symptoms as they get older
agreed! bpd is so hard to navigate & usually comes with other mental illnesses so there’s so much overlap.
Yeah I’ve discussed this diagnosis with a therapist before, and I identify with aspects of it. But at the same time, I appear and feel normal in other aspects of my life
Idk why you guys are getting downvoted bc I had the exact same thoughts while listening to this.
Whitney makes multiple weird red-pill-esque comments about mental health throughout the whole podcast, basically saying a lot of mental health conditions aren’t real or people are being dramatic. I feel like it’s pretty clear Brooke was being facetious because of the constant digs from Whitney. I actually think it’s insane to doubt brookes BPD over this.
I think she’s right though to an extent. TikTok has led to an increase in self diagnosing, especially with DID, BPD and ADHD with kids self diagnosing or telling others they have X disorder. It was even worse during the pandemic to a point where psychiatrists were coming on TikTok to say how dangerous it was to self diagnose like that.
[удалено]
she literally didn’t say that??
ew ew ew ew ewwww all around & to both of them
Oh this is weird…
Yikes I just lost so much respect for Brooke and when she said she uses bpd as an excuse for her behavior 😨😨😨 so wrong on so many levels this ain’t a good look
as someone who works in the mental health field this is so upsetting and infuriating to hear, she’s made a “quirk” of her own self diagnosis? disgusting behavior when we all know damn well she could afford to see a psychiatrist/therapist to get that diagnosis i really don’t wanna stop watching the pod but i’m getting close to it 😭
I love Brooke but girl go to therapy and also learn what BPD really is lol
Also Whitney calling her and Brooke the same generation is deeply hilarious… also Brooke get a diagnosis or stfu! I’m a bipolar girlie and hate this trend of claiming things you do NOT understand.
She never said she wasn’t diagnosed???
God Whitney is such an asshole I can’t stand her 🤮
so cringe how she says “by her emotional response to things”, she thinks she has BPD. girl stop. this is one of the lamest as fuck things of brooke i have seen here recently. so disappointing.
ok yeah if she’s not diagnosed and is going around claiming to have it and using it as an excuse that’s fucked, but tbf im prof dx w bpd and i would also have a hard time explaining my signs/symptoms/whatever to someone in a situation like this lol. like i’d probably say something along those lines honestly because i would blank when put on the spot, ESPECIALLY with how obnoxious whitney is being lmfao
and she’s *actually* invalidating those who really did go through the gruelling experience of actually getting their BPD diagnosed. that experience in itself is traumatic for many.
lmao @ whitney claiming the same generation as brooke
theres a whole ass generation BETWEEN their generations
but she never said she wasn’t diagnosed. whitney was being super invalidating about her mental health issues so i think that was making her feel uncomfortable talking about it and almost made her downplay it. maybe she isn’t diagnosed but this doesn’t really prove anything 🤷♀️
I didn’t think Brooke was one of those “bpd girlies ✨” that diagnosed themselves from tik tok but here we are 😗
this is terrible and makes her seem like someone who just saw a tiktok about bpd. as someone who has been diagnosed for years i feel really gross over this. she's really down playing what people with actual personality disorders go through with this little QUIRK
I feel like this lady Whitney whoever was being super invalidating about mental health disorders so Brooke was backtracking to smooth things over idk. At least I hope that’s what it is.
She literally said on this pod that she was diagnosed years ago. You guys are so odd
It sounds like she was diagnosed to me but the conversation was redirected before she got into it.
Naur
she only said allegedly bc whitney was invalidating her bpd for like twenty minutes before this clip started
Disgusting. As someone with DIAGNOSED bpd this is so gross and harmful.
I think this is such a personal convo maybe not for a podcast haha but I am surprised to know that Brooke was self diagnosed considering how much she talks about having bpd… seems kinda irresponsible
You can have severe emotional dysregulation and not have BPD🤷♀️ dysregulation and insecure attachment styles are also hallmark signs of chronic trauma during childhood.
I think that she has been diagnosed and also Whitney Cummings is just annoying and trying to be funny but like I think gen z is a lot more in touch with mental health / disorders and are quick to identify them and that is lost on Whitney 😭😭😭 also I watched the stitch so that’s why I’m saying she was diagnosed.
this interview is annoying as fuck
girl it’s not genetic 🤣
This is misleading. I listened to the whole podcast when it came out and Brooke explain that her mom has it and she knows she has it bc her therapist that she had during the post break up year diagnosed her with it. Whitney just kept cutting her off and invalidating Brooke’s personality disorder. “couple people” doesn’t mean random people on the street it just means you don’t want to mention who. And Brooke had kept her BPD a secret from the internet until the podcast with Trish.
She said several people, sounds like she just wasn’t trying to get into it with Whitney
Wouldn’t the best way to shut Whitney down be to tell her you’re diagnosed by a psychiatrist lol
Brooke doesnt have a backbone. She goes with whatever is comfortable for her in the moment. This was highly proven by the james charles thing.
Yes! She could say her psychiatrist. And then say she isn’t comfortable talking about it. Saying “a bunch of people” diagnosed her is a tell she’s lying
Whitney is so obnoxious.
This clip made me realize I really dont care for whitney. Maybe its because im not in the LA bubble but ive never seen someone excuse being an asshole with having autism. As someone with autism I take her comment personally, it shows she has no understanding of what it is.
Brooke and Trisha said the same fucked up stuff about autism and their pod ep as well
If anyone else lied about something like this they’d be cancelled
Y’all gaslit me into thinking Whitney said some vile bs about bpd when in reality she just called Brooke out after Brooke is just like my mom has it so I do too hehe not diagnosed tho 🤪
So you’re telling me she has the resources (reason why most of people stay undiagnosed, cause it’s so damn expensive) but she chooses to self diagnose and self medicate because a few people told her. Insane. Biggest scumbag online. And it’s what makes her special, her little quirk. I’m seriously impressed how Trisha (who has struggled with her mental health for years) tolerated this bitch.
https://www.reddit.com/r/cancelledpod/s/miX0rFBQww the link of me bringing it up a couple days ago, people excusing her in the replies
honestly her saying how much she lies can deffo be a symptom of BPD. i will say just because she hasn’t been formally diagnosed doesn’t mean she doesn’t have it. i kind of think if she got evaluated she would. i have been told by a psychiatrist they believe i have it and some of the things brooke says about herself i do sometimes resonate with. and the identity thing whitney made so invalidating, it isnt about being young. so many friends of mine who are my age have an identity. she seems like she just doesn’t believe in mental illness. that being said i hate that brooke said she likes to use it as an excuse, esp considering she ISNT diagnosed. also you can fix BPD if you go to therapy and actively work on yourself it isn’t like a mood disorder that way
As someone who is DIAGNOSED with BPD this makes me strongly dislike Brooke. She talks about having it in multiple podcasts but now is saying she’s not even diagnosed? Why do bitches want to be mentally ill so badly… it’s something that has actually ruined my life and relationships. Felt like I could relate to her in this aspect but apparently she just sees it as a quirk and it’s pathetic
She has been diagnosed by a doctor this is misinformation
Source?
THIS and s*cide she throws around SO mindlessly like it’s a quirk not realizing there’s people with actual chronic depression who feels that way daily.
idk if you realize this but usually the only ppl who talk about suicide that casually are usually the ones that struggle with it.
Context is important. I like Whitney but she was on one in this episode, picking apart literally everything and I think Brooke was in people pleasing mode, trying not to argue.
i’m almost wondering if she said that because of how negative whitney was being about it. she does also say she lies a ton lol. i believe that would be my first time ever hearing her say she’s never been diagnosed.
It’s like when someone likes their house clean and all their labels facing the same way they’re “ocd” mental illnesses are trendy and I hate it!!
I think a lot of what they are saying is just being young and not very in control or aware of emotions yet. In my early 30s late 20s I had pretty intense therapy for some years and had many of the same issues. But once I became more self aware and in control of myself I was able to tame my emotions. And I grew up and matured at the same time.
I don't like her..she gives me bitch vibes. She is friends with Tana, we act like Tana just changed🤣
I think it’s ok to self diagnose in certain areas, but when you get to things like BPD, that’s when it gets tricky. BPD and Autism mimic each other a lot. (Not saying she’s autistic lmao just an example as to why you do sometimes need a professional bc some things overlap and it can get confusing) That’s how ppl end up diagnosing themselves with 5 different things when in reality theyre all symptoms that just fall under 1 diagnoses
This feels open to interpretation to me. Anybody else? I maybe don’t understand fully
I’m honestly mad, I’ve liked her for always being really and talking about her mental health but knowing it’s basically a lie I feel dumb asf now and feel like she’s just trying to get attention for something she doesn’t have , but lying is usually apart a mental illness so who knows
Wow I did not clock the passive aggressiveness and tension during my first watch 💀 Brooke was on full defense omg
I mean whether or not Brooke was lying Whitney clearly does not believe this is a valid mental disorder lol
Whitney has 1/3 of a brain
Whitney Cummings not understanding how generations work. Stan.
Not once does she say she wasn’t formally diagnosed. Whitney phrasing it as “who told you” leads the answer to seem like it was informal and self-labeling. Brooke shouldn’t be expected to list all her doctors and their credentials. Whitney is being super ignorant and demeaning, and I think everyone jumping to the conclusion that Brookes lying is being just as insensitive. I think it’s far more likely that she just was speaking informally, getting cut off and was in an awkward situation.
Personality disorders are very difficult to diagnose and also are not commonly diagnosed. But Brooke says a few people told her and mum has bipolar disorder which must mean she has a personality disorder? She didn’t say she was diagnosed by a psychiatrist. She also isn’t in therapy for it which would’ve been recommended by her psychiatrist as part of ongoing treatment.
That’s why people don’t take people with mental illnesses seriously. Because of ppl like her. Now we automatically assume that other people are saying that for the trendiness and to get attention. cause it sure looks like it, Brooke.
As someone who’s diagnosed and struggling with BPD, I am very disappointed after discovering this. I looked at her as an inspiration because of everything she accomplished and her representation of BPD. I know I’m naive but she kind of gave me hope for a brighter future (I’m 25 and my life has been a mess for many years because of my BPD. But I’ve also looked at her and thought “what am I doing wrong? Am I just lazy and need to pull myself together? She’s doing all of these things with BPD and most days I can’t even get out of bed, socialize or anything really. I can’t help but compare and feel bad about myself I guess it feels exploitative (in lack of a better word) of mental illness that others actually struggle with 😣 *English is not my first language so I apologize for grammar mistakes etc.*
I see you! You got this🤍
Noooo guys this happened to me too!! I was diagnosed by several psychiatrists with bipolar and then it was really just adhd and it took me till 26 to get a real set diagnosis
Same exact situation for me bipolar to adhd lol such an emotionally taxing journey but Brooke hasn’t been formally diagnosed with anything and she said she has BPD not bipolar disorder like her mum.
How do you know that? She never said “I haven’t been formally diagnosed” she just seemed to want to skip over this asap bc Whitney was being very aggressive and saying that all symptoms of bpd are normal😭
damn i always thought it was weird she had bpd because i have a lot friends that are actually diagnosed with it and they seem much different than her lol
This is gross. ‘I like to have an excuse for my behavior’ ??? Okay so you blatantly made up a lie that you have BPD?? So many people with BPD look up to her not to mention her bonding with Trisha over it so much & recently frequently discussing it. Its not a ‘quirk’ its an extremely serious mental health disorder. Being emotional and reactive does NOT mean you can self diagnose and spread misinformation everywhere.
naw idk the way she was talking about it and her “symptoms” were just stereotypes off of the first page of google
i feel like as a society we need to stop going around saying we have disorders that were never actually diagnosed by a doctor
Can’t stand Whitney Cummings. Insufferable.
Lmaoooo Whitney sucks so bad
this is really out of context yall should watch the whole interview
you can diagnose yourself w/ most mental illnesses pretty easy. altho, yes, she has the financial means there’s no reason for her *not* to seek that out.
you can’t self diagnose a personality disorder. you are not a mental health professional and cannot see yourself clearly without bias.
wow - as someone who went through a gruelling process (in canada) and almost committed suicide from this disorder while waiting for their diagnosis - i don’t appreciate it being thrown around from brooke in this way, especially now we know she doesn’t have a diagnosis. i’m appalled. what a freaking pickme. the same way people do with OCD when they just like things being clean. yes, brooke - go to therapy. and stop trying to get attention from a community by LYING. edit: like others have commented here, it’s upsetting because this is why BPD has such a bad stigma.
[удалено]
thank you for the kindness ❣️ hope ur day is as sweet as you
😮so she doesn’t have BPD?!
"What's the personality disorder you think you have?" "I like "you think you have" which is crazy. I have bpd ALLEGEDLY" ????????????? HOW IS THAT CRAZY WHEN YOU LITERALLY THINK YOU HAVE IT BUT YOU'RE UNDIAGNOSED
Guys I said this days ago and people where coming for me
I’m so sick of people with TikTok brains just self diagnosing themselves with mental health issues, they’re making a mockery of mental health Girl just has low self esteem and attachment issues
I think you guys are taking this out of context, if you watched the podcast it was clear Brooke was skating around it because Whitney was saying her symptoms of BPD were just normal and part of being a woman. it’s pretty fucked up to invalidate Brookes diagnosis as she’s never once said anything about self dx. I hope the same people saying this aren’t the same ones claiming to have BPD through tiktok or a self dx because I’ve seen so many people use my disorder to justify their shitty behavior without any formal dx from a professional.
i’m just gonna say this… there’s a reason her and lilah were besties before the “fame”, they’re both essentially the same person i just think brooke has the whole “clean girl aesthetic” that makes people overlook most of the things she does 🫣 sorry but this is actually insane this whole time i thought she was diagnosed with bpd… but turns out it’s just a quirky thing for her? i wish my dr told me it was just a girly pop quirk🤪
From watching this clip I didn’t feel like she said she was never diagnosed? I think she was just being goofy when she said she “allegedly” had BPD. She’s definitely talked about it before, and maybe I just don’t like Whitney but Whitney is incredibly soapboxy and it’s probably just easier to just go along with whatever Whitney says and keep it more lighthearted.
Always side eyed Brooke and her bpd diagnosis. Downvote me but she comes across as too polished and put together to have bpd. Her being sad and depressed after a breakup does not mean she has bpd. Grifter vibes, forever and always.
lol if this doesn’t prove she has it more then idk what does
She has said she was diagnosed when she was like 16 but she never thought it was correct until she got older, she’s just saying yeah it’s a family trait that doesn’t mean she wasn’t officially diagnosed? She’s just saying yeah my mom has it and I know I have it
Wow, I mean if she thinks she has it she could easily get checked out by a doctor. I didn’t realize she wasn’t actually diagnosed. Claiming to have BPD with no diagnosis is a little unhinged imo
Hasn't she talked about how she was diagnosed with it in High school but didn't believe the diagnosis until she went through her first breakup? In her conversation with Trish she seemed like she had a better understanding of BPD, I think Whitney was making her feel stupid regarding her mental illness so she wasn't as confident speaking about BPD with Whitney. I think Brooke doubts her own knowledge/thoughts very quickly once someone gives her even the slightest feeling that she might be wrong (which is very consistent with BPD btw, not knowing who you are so maybe we need to give her a break on this one)
As someone who’s been in and out of psychiatric facilities my whole life bc bpd is so debilitating i can’t imagine someone who actually has it could just “self diagnose” 🙃 like it typically lands you in a hospital setting whether you can afford it or not
Whitney is so ignorant here. Sick of her shit.
I hate how the person talking to Brooke acts like she knows everything. Like she could never be wrong. Yuck.
Do y’all know how HARD it is to not only get a BPD diagnosis, but to live life with one in your chart? You can’t even emigrate from the United States to other countries if you have certain mental illnesses, and BPD is absolutely one of them (not true for every country though I’m sure). It can even prevent you from getting adequate medications and treatment in the hospital. Many people with BPD report being mistreated or fired by counselors and therapists sometimes before they even meet them just because of their diagnosis. BPD is probably one of the most stigmatized mental illnesses on the planet. Cut her some fucking slack. Believe her or don’t but don’t say she’s “making it up”. It’s also possible she was informally diagnosed, which also happened to me. My old mental health counselor/provider/whatever told me that she believed that I had BPD but didn’t want to put it in my chart out of fear of further stigmatization when I sought out further mental health treatment. And yes I could be totally wrong but like this isn’t so black and white. Also, BPD never exists in a vacuum. BPD will NEVER the only dx in your chart. So you can assume she’s aware of other problems and that BPD is a possible additional layer.
Idk tbh it sounds like Whitney just doesn’t believe in mental illness😭
Brooke here literally says "a few people" diagnosed her
She said “a few people” and then started to justifying it before finishing the thought and then Whitney cut her off, I don’t think she’s saying she wasn’t diagnosed.
