LA’s Foxx Bodies have a new record due out November 5 on Kill Rock Stars and today they have shared a new video addressing singer Bella Vanek’s experience with borderline personality disorder. Hear from Bella and enjoy the very fun video below!
“BPD is short for borderline personality disorder which is one of my multiple mental health diagnoses. Each instrument is used to match the lyrics as they go from a predictable ‘neurotypical’ stream of consciousness to repeated self-hating phrases to loss of words or ability to function. This song was originally written for cathartic purposes, but it was recorded in hopes that borderline can be seen in a more sympathetic light. Many of the symptoms of BPD stem from low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, depression, anxiety, or abuse rather than the popular narrative of inherent intolerance or neuroticism.” - Bella Vanek
