Lonlin3zz The Buddha and the Borderline was a book I couldn't put down but it's basically the account of this woman's life living with BPD then going through DBT and she ended up becoming sort of like a spokeswoman for BPD at the time. It was funny, sad and entertaining and really hits home on having BPD.

HeavyMetalLover I'm right there with I did not like I hate you, don't leave me I thought it was very broad and offended me at times but again others may not find it to be so bad. Sometimes I act crazy bored me a bit maybe because I felt like I did not connect to any of the stories in it I read about half of the book.

WibblyWobbly I would recommend The Buddha and the Borderline for a first read of BPD it's not harsh and it comes straight from someone who suffered from BPD. And my boyfriend has Stop Walking on Eggshells book and workbook and he said it helped him tremendously to understand what I was going through and to not take things personal which he had a big issue with taking EVERYTHING I said or did personally!
