You know, if you write a book about your personal struggles as a person with BPD, you can pretty much put whatever you like in the book, including how people or scholarly articles don't cover all possible variations of DSM criteria and focus only on one subset.

But if you want to present a scholarly work, almost as way to counter some academic claims about the disorder, it will be tricky if you want to be taken seriously by those people, without having the educational background.

Because my mom has certain narcissistic and also borderline traits, I have looked at some of the books in this area before, and I personally think that a book from somebody who has a different variety of BPD than what's often portrayed or shared, can be a nice addition to what's available.

However, I don't how successful you will be with getting the book published or making money off of it. Something about self injury or rage, seems to make for a kind of drama that attracts publishers to okay those kinds of stories for publication. It is a sad state of affairs. But I think there are a few publishers (and quite a number of readers) out there who value learning about mental illness, even if doesn't always involve the more behaviorally severe reactions.
