Hi Everyone!

I have not been diagnose with BPD but I have a lot of the tendencies.
I have done a lot of reading about BPD and I can see how this is really hurting the people around me.
I also have ADHD, anxiety and depression (probably like everyone else)

I do a lot of reading and have read quite a few books about how I became the way I am.

Here is a list of some of the books:
"Putting the Pieces together, A practical guide to recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder" by Joy A. Jensen -(BPD)
"I Hate You, Don't Leave Me" by Jerold J Kreisman, M.D. and Hal Straus - (BPD)
"Sometimes I act Crazy" by Jerold J. Kreisman, M.D. and Hal Straus -(BPD)
"The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. -(PTSD)
"Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD

These are all books that I have read that have helped me along my journey to figure out why I am the way I am and had given me tools to deal with my crazy.

Some have made me mad, some have made me cry but all have helped me to understand how I got here and how to recognize when I am out of control and how to come back from it.

I prefer to read as much as I can instead of going to a therapist because I am still having a hard time being completely truthful with myself and others and the books can't hear my lies. I can only read the truth which does not allow me to make things up. It won't lie to me and I can't lie to it. So, for me, it is a great way to get the information without spending a lot of money just to lie to someone. Also I never found a therapist that I felt completely comfortable with. I am always trying to make a friend or a good impression, I forget that is not why I am there for. I can't seem to stop myself from doing this. So, I read.

If anyone has any other books they would recommend I would love to hear from you.
