Doja Cat reveals borderline personality disorder diagnosis
Published in Entertainment News
Doja Cat is opening up to her fans about her battle with borderline personality disorder.
“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,” Doja Cat said in a TikTok video shared Friday. “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.”
The “Paint the Town” rapper added that she’s been dealing with the disorder for “probably forever,” describing it as an “agonizing condition.”
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that can often cause extreme emotions and impulsiveness, according to the Mayo Clinic.
“I’ve been in therapy for years now, and I am so relieved and so proud of myself,” she shared. “I’ve made it so far and I still make mistakes, but it is an eight-year process of curing, treatment, and healing.”
Doja made the comments while praising singer Chappell Roan. She emphasized that while she is “not diagnosing Chappell Roan with BPD,” she understands why her fellow performer can sometimes appear “uncomfortable” on the red carpet.
The “Pink Pony Club” singer has been seen scolding paparazzi on several occasions, oftentimes calling them out for being disrespectful and invasive.
“I love that she can be uncomfortable comfortably in front of people and protect herself,” she continued. “I had to learn how to be honest with myself. I lied to myself for years — for most of my life — and to see her sit there, I love it.”
