"I've learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I'm happy, to pretend that I don't like stuff that I do, to appear like everything is okay," the 30-year-old said.

"I'll get it done. And it caught up with me, and I think it always does for people. I'm now struggling with BPD."

Borderline Personality Disorder, per Mayo Clinic, is a condition that "affects the way people feel about themselves and others, making it hard to function in everyday life."

It's described as a condition that can include "a pattern of unstable, intense relationships, as well as impulsiveness and an unhealthy way of seeing themselves. Impulsiveness involves having extreme emotions and acting or doing things without thinking about them first."
