I remember spending most of a night reading that and saying "ohhhhhh". Turns out I'm 1 not 2 but it fit enough to get me diagnosed (and I think I was diagnosed as 2 for first few months)

Hehe, I also had many moments of "ohhhh" while reading his book.

I was suspecting that just being on the antidepressants for such a long time was making me manic and very depressed. But it was just a hunch.

And he talks exactly about how antidepressants can go really wrong for people with BPD. I was like: this guy is my savior!!!

I absolutely love him, even though I'd never met him lol. It's just that I could relate to the book and I really like this approach to the illness.
