Properly treated, he grew to – mostly – learn to live with himself, despite hating himself. He’s now eight-years clean and five-years sober, and working hard on his recovery.His videos about living with BPD have had over 40 million views, and his approach to mental health – honest, open, vulnerable and self-deprecating – has been praised widely by public and media alike.
