  • Summary

  • "Non-binary, Queer. Christian. Let's add a truckload of Borderline Personality Disorder, bucket of ADHD, Depression and crippling anxiety. Okay, so you're gonna be part of the 'tortured artist' trope, struggle with each part of existence, but love it all at the same time, so let's just try to make it past 16 okay?."

    ... - 'Urmmmm, okayyyy? What now though?"

    ADHD, BPD, LGBTQ & WWJD - Welcome to The Alphabet Club+! *(to be used by 'members' only)

    Centred around topics that are responsible for a massive societal divide, this show explores just how heavy each acronym is, let alone how it feels to exist with the all-inclusive package. It'll cover relationships, gender roles, body image, purpose, faith, artistry, and dare I say, 'politics'. The gov cowering behind improper use of finance and dodgy opinions is not enough of an excuse to push further legislation in attack of our communities that attack us personally, or our friends, family, our kids, our loved ones, or even more daringly,- whole communities. This show will display real-life stories of people who are impacted the most.

    Each episode will swing from hilarious to heartbreaking and back, with some fantastic guests joining each episode to offer a wider view of one (or several) of the acronyms as part of The Alphabet Club+.

    Episode 1 - Bex Day
    Jun 17 2024

    Trigger Warnings - addiction, suicide, rape, emotional abuse

    Join me and the lovely Bex Day (ft her adorable dog, Goo) as we cover multiple facets of BPD (or EUPD) across this phenomenon called 'existence'. Covering late diagnosis, career, relationships and medication, we also expand on the lessons learnt, the healing done so far, and what we wish for the future. Bex shares some fab things that she has done that have helped her get to where she is now on her healing journey, and I sprinkle my epiphanies on how to use the aspects of BPD that are typically felt with a negative connotation, for good.

    Bex is a photographer and director from London, who has worked across the globe with the likes of Vogue Italia/Mexico, The British Journal of Photography, the New York Times, Gay Times, Royal Photographic Society, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, and that is just to name a few! She has lectured about her work at Nicer Tuesdays (It's Nice That), Cambridge University, and has had her work displayed and nominated for a multitude of internationally recognised awards. Be it the transgender and non-binary communities in the UK, the impact of Covid on children, or 'celebrating the uniqueness of the vulva', Bex takes on the world by drawing attention to where her own focus lies - breaking the stigma and raising awareness on a multitude of topics across a selection of art mediums.

    This episode is full of laughs, but heavy topics are discussed, so if it ever gets a bit too much, please do take a break. Get some fresh air, a cuppa; whatever will help you get back to a regulated state and remember that you're safe. Lots of love, AD x
