So happy to see Charlotte again and to hear that she is having success in her life. Also happy to see that she was placed into a normal sized chair for this interview! Congratulations Charlotte on your degree and your hard win successes.
What a beautiful smile , I love Charlotte's voice. I'm so happy she finished school. It is so horrible what she's been through, but fantastic she emerged. Charlotte is still beautiful ! Stay well. You are an inspiration! your friend Tom
I was just sitting down for my lunch break and was pulling up youtube to see what I wanted to watch, and was like I wish there was a new Charlotte video... I saw *posted 30 min ago*... What an amazing feeling! This looks like a heavy one though. Looking forward to hearing more about Charloette's story!
Yay! I am so happy for Charlotte! She is not only such an important voice in the Borderline education community but also now in the social work/mental health community!! I would love to see more videos on her discussing cases now with the three psychiatrists/psychologists she saw years ago!!! That could be a way to get a cool look at both the being in the chair to the other chair! :) Thank you too for posting these videos! They are so powerful.
Great interviews with Charlotte as usual! Her resilience forged in the hottest fires of adversity is absolutely remarkable. Her healing inside and out is obvious and amazing. There is so much to learn from her being self aware and mindful. Her spirit and smile are incredibly endearing.
Honestly going on disability changed my life. I have bpd, bipolar 2, anxiety, depression, cptsd and former eating disorder. If I didn’t have income I was going to end up doing something very dumb. Yeaaaars of therapy and meds helped but having consistent income even though it’s not a lot, makes me grateful to be here. Rock bottom saves lives or ruins them. Thank you for sharing charlotte.
Oh my goodness. I’ve spent a lot of time in skid row and I come from the streets so it’s familiar. Picturing you down there is scary to think about based off the people down there. I’ve been watching your story for some time and I feel protective of you. Damn.
When I grow up, I want to be Charlotte edit: If the half joke flew over your head: no it's not /s. It refers to us struggling, regardless of age. It's not meant as literally growing up. A kudos to Charlotte for what she went through and how much she achieved regardless. I want to achieve the same some day. Bonus points if you caught a hint of identity disturbance often found in BPD
Yay! It’s Charlotte! Sounds like your victories AND your stumbles will make you more effective and compassionate helper. Congratulations on your SW studies. You are almost at the finish line!
I was on and off homeless from 15-29. The main thing that pushed me into REALLY finding a way to fund DBT is my fear of becoming homeless once more. It would not be so easy now that I'm old and tired. As always, thank you for sharing your story. Edit: Okay, finished teh video. As a person who has always had issues taking care of themselves, I am really inspired by this.
The only reason I was finally able to get into a good DBT program and really into recovery is because I was able to stay with relatives, even though I had a good job. I work in the affordable housing industry now. Thank you for sharing your story, You’re an inspiration!
Charlotte - it's amazing how your story arc almost takes the form of a hero quest. It's really cool how you went full circle, but on "returning" you found yourself to be different than when you left. It's impressive how you were able to claw your way back to stability and then continue to grow into a stronger version of yourself. I think the fact that you tolerated the abuse from your ex for that one last night and then immediately went back to the shelter shows that you had learned what it was like to live with less of that toxicity - even though you had to look out for yourself, even though people made fun of you, it was an improvement. There must have been some feeling of internal locus of control.. I guess my question is - what about the shelter allowed you to do that? Is it literally just having somewhere to live that isn't about to be pulled out from under you? Thanks again for sharing your story. Also, great interview questions! Solid conversation all around. Very well cut, great interview flow and storytelling.
Welcome to the field of Social Work! BPD does offer some amazing skills to the field, that straight talk, calm in a crisis (yes!) no matter what it is, being the right squeaky wheel on behalf of others , unafraid of literally anyone on behalf of right. 😊
You're appreciated Charlotte :) Clearly sounds like you're helping so many people, and whilst struggle brings pain it also brings wisdom and understanding - I'm sure your clients treasure your insight and, who knows, maybe sometimes we're tested because we're needed to help others.
Ich finde es sehr beeindruckend, dass sie bewusst entschieden hat, in die Hölle hinabzusteigen, um nicht unfreiwillig dort zu enden. Die menschliche Mythologie ist voll solcher Fahrten in die Unterwelt, in welcher die Reisenden dann sehend werden. Ein Beispiel ist Odysseus, der in das Totenreich herabsteigt, weil er nicht weiter weiß, und all die Schatten trifft, zuletzt den Seher Theiresias, der ihm den Weg weist.
So happy to see you are doing well Charlie. I was on RUclips looking for painting videos and suddenly there you were looking the same as when we worked together in Texas. Sending lots of good vibes and healing as you continue to do the work. ❤️
If there were resources in place where I live and healthcare, I’d not have felt so desperate that I attempted suicide twice to escape my abusive marriage. I’d not have felt like a burden to my family… she’s so right that housing and healthcare give you the space to heal and figure yourself out so you can take those next steps.
Charlotte should focus on bettering her own health. Focus on getting stronger with positive habits built to maintain her body and mind in positive state : exercise, diet, refrain from substance use, and then focus on loving herself and then she may try to better friendships and then try a relationship. But do it in stages.
everything she says is true about housing first and universal health care, but basically we (meaning Americans) just don't care. if people suffer, we don't care. a minority do, but we (the minority) have no weight in the decisions about these things. how do you get people to care? you can't. it has to come from within them. and the rest of us just have to wait.
As an autistic person with old and adhd, I legit STILL don't know how you pay for an expensive apartment of your own while paying school and going to school f/t simultaneously? Like, logistically. Like how do you keep your mind trained on finishing school while you work loads of hours? Wtf is that even possible, where is like $5K a month coming from every month from a part time job? Are you fluffing billionaires balls or mining for gold??? Otherwise how can u work so many hours and not have them conflict with grad school ffs? And isn't this incredible stress an awful idea for those with unstable mental health?????? After all these years i hear these "success stories if wome" and dont buy them at all.
What do you mean? Why does the mention of skid row immediately render this video clickbait? I'm rather confused by how self-explanatory you seem to think your conclusion is...
So happy to see Charlotte again and to hear that she is having success in her life. Also happy to see that she was placed into a normal sized chair for this interview! Congratulations Charlotte on your degree and your hard win successes.
🤣
The comment about the chair is on point
I liked the other chair better but funny comment!
😂 those chairs were very nice tho lol
What a beautiful smile , I love Charlotte's voice. I'm so happy she finished school. It is so horrible what she's been through, but fantastic she emerged. Charlotte is still beautiful ! Stay well. You are an inspiration! your friend Tom
Really good to hear from her again. Hope she finds peace of mind moving forward in her life. She is so deserving.

I can’t tell you how much that smile at the end meant. Lovely to witness Charlotte’s journey. Cheering you on!!
Charlotte is a wonderful human being. Happy to see she is doing well.❤
I am awed by Charlotte, how hard she has worked at her life and her insight.
Oh my goodness. I’ve spent a lot of time in skid row and I come from the streets so it’s familiar.
Picturing you down there is scary to think about based off the people down there. I’ve been watching your story for some time and I feel protective of you.
Damn.
Wishing you the best. I’m rooting for you. You deserve to be happy. We all do.
I remember her....Great Job Charlotte!!!
Hope everything is going well with Charlotte these days. I refer back to her interviews from time to time for understanding etc. All the best 🙏
Well I’m so happy for this beautiful lady.
When I grow up, I want to be Charlotte

If some reassurance is helpful, I realised your comment was a jokey reference to a more stable/ well/ balanced life in the future.

What a courageous inspiring woman 😊
Happy to see Charlotte is doing great. I know she is going to have a positive impact in those she helps.

I could see the joy in your expressions. Way to go, you've do something significant and should be proud.
So happy to follow this story and see her doing well. We’re rooting for her! Sending love
Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable part of your journey 🪷
Very interesting. i worked in the Weingart building all of 2023, 9th floor. I know how skid row can be, brutal.
This is a lovely video.
Its so nice to see Charlotte smiling and laughing.
Its lovely to know her life seems to be going well.
🎊🎉🎈💐🏆🫶🏻

“Housing first” yes!

Yeaaaaah Charlotte!!! I didn’t even watch the video yet, just love the title.
Way to go Charlotte!!
That's a lot to go through but she's thriving which is great to see. Congratulations on your graduation, Charlotte!
Thanks both ❤️

Go Charlotte, looks like you’re staying on the path. One step at a time, look how far you’ve come :)
Bingo!!! SOOO OFTEN I got "pretty privilege" but meanwhile I'm living in the ghetto with a target on my back lol. Ppl are abusive to women
Sending so much love
Incredible strength, am inspired by her.
i had a v similar experience unsheltered for 2 years in missouri

Please bring Dr. Karen Jacob back, 😊
We will be!
That being said, I’m happy for Charlotte!! 😊
I don't get it... A friend let her stay at a place, then she kicked her out because she called who???
Why was she kicked out?
❤❤❤
Dammit, I forgot to thank you.
n9o the manipulator....noooo
This title is munipulative....😅 like Charlotte
Quit alcohol and quit men.

It's hard to take you seriously with that hat!
If you have a BPD diagnosis, you should not be counseling ANYBODY. SORRY. This is distorted thinking.
Skid Row? Please…..Click Bait
Don’t you ever come over here minimizing her experience or making assumptions about this content creator.
I just seen, your channel didn’t work out. It’s all making sense now.
Not necessary dude!
