Doja Cat Reveals She is Struggling with Boarderline Personality Disorder

Doja Cat spoke about her mental health. In a TikTok video posted on March 13, 2026, the 30-year-old said she is struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and has suffered from the illness for years.

“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. “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.”

Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that causes people to have a distorted self-image and often experience unstable relationships with others. Symptoms can include uncontrollable emotions, fear of abandonment, impulsivity.

The Mayo Clinic describes the mental illness as a pattern of intense emotional swings and acting impulsively that can impact relationships and decision-making. The “Woman” singer went on to say that she’s been in therapy for years. “I’ve been in therapy for years now, and I am so proud of myself, I’ve made it so far,” She said that she goes to therapy to make sure she’s “alright.” She continued “It’s been a process of me learning about myself.”

She ended the post by noting that seeing others confidently express themselves, including singer Chappell Roan has inspired her to do the same, “I had to learn how to be honest with myself because I lied to myself for years,” Doja added. To see someone be like that and not hurt anybody, it lets me know that I can be that way too.
