Series 5: Borderline in Wonderland - Emotions like storms. Love like fire. A heart that’s too big for this tiny teacup world.

E104: Echo Alice: Watching Yourself Play the Role

In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we meet Echo Alice—the version of ourselves who smiles, nods, and performs the part while feeling miles away inside.

“Echo Alice” explores the eerie experience of depersonalization, where life starts to feel like a performance and you’re stuck watching yourself from behind the curtain.

For those with BPD, this disconnect can feel like a survival strategy: becoming who others expect, while losing sight of who you really are. Join us as we unravel the pressure to perform, the exhaustion of being everything to everyone, and what it might look like to step back into authenticity—one small truth at a time.

*********************************************************

🗝️✨ I was never supposed to tell this story. But I am.For years, I lived inside someone else’s version of my life — wrapped in secrets, silences, and bedtime stories that left too much out.

Now I’m writing the truth. Unlocked is my autobiography about adoption, anxiety, family fractures, and the journey of reclaiming my voice.

I’m raising funds to professionally edit, design, print, and share this book with people who need to know they’re not alone.

If you’ve ever been called too sensitive, too dramatic, too much — this book is for you.And if you believe in the power of truth, I’d be so grateful if you could help me bring it into the world.
