Book excerpt: Twenty years ago while I was in the throes of depression, I received a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I was an Educational Psychologist with a Masters in Psychology, and yet, I had never heard of BPD. Not until recently, when I started doing a series of blogs on BPD, have I really come to understand it. I now pat myself on the back for not only surviving, but now thriving, with this disorder. I will always live with some of the symptoms that I will describe in this book, but I have not only discovered how to manage them, but I now realize that I have actually grown into the person I am because of them. I am now living the life I truly love living. In this book I want to let you know what living with BPD is like and perhaps give you a few hints on how to manage it.

With astonishing honesty, this memoir, Get Me Out of Here, reveals what mental illness looks and feels like from the inside, and how healing from borderline personality disorder is possible through intensive therapy and the support of loved ones. A mother, wife, and working professional, Reiland was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at the age of 29--a diagnosis that finally explained her explosive anger, manipulative behaviors, and self-destructive episodes including bouts of anorexia, substance abuse, and promiscuity. A truly riveting read with a hopeful message. Excerpt: "My hidden secrets were not well-concealed. The psychological profile had been right as had the books on BPD. I was manipulative, desperately clinging and prone to tantrums, explosiveness, and frantic acts of desperation when I did not feel the intimacy connection was strong enough. The tough chick loner act of self-reliance was a complete facade."

What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. And you may even have trouble seeing yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you’ve written about your life. So, how can you make sense of it all and start on the road to healing? Rather than utilizing a one-size-fits-all treatment, this groundbreaking and comprehensive workbook meets you where you are on your therapeutic journey, and provides an integrative approach to treating BPD drawing on evidence-based dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy. With this compassionate workbook, you’ll gain a greater understanding of your BPD, uncover your own emotional triggers, and discover your own personal motivators for positive change. Your BPD has determined how you see and live your life, but it doesn’t have to define you forever. With this workbook as your guide, you’ll be ready to face your diagnosis head-on, and take those important first steps toward lasting wellness.
Download or read book Unlocking the Mystery of Borderline Personality Disorder A Survival Guide to Living and Coping with Bpd for You and Your Loved Ones written by Thomas Cox and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionHave years of treatment for your mental health left you feeling confused and at a loss? Have you been diagnosed as anxious, depressed, or as having bipolar disorder and yet have found your treatment lacking? Do you have a loved one who struggles with managing their emotions, despite periods of lucidity (or, normal functioning)? Are you in a relationship with someone who makes you feel completely loved and then completely unwanted, seemingly without reason? It is in this liminal space where relationships are built where personality disorders manifest. When you have been prescribed antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication without relief, when you have tried changing and improving your circumstances, and when, after all this, there is still a feeling of being lost, restless, and an intense fear of being abandoned, then learning more about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) may open the door to your truth.Personalities are the parts of ourselves we develop throughout a lifetime in order to interface with the world. However, what happens when traumatic events in early childhood shatter this fragile sense of self?BPD is a maladaptive pattern of behaviors created in childhood to negotiate a world that has deeply betrayed the security of the child. However, these patterns of behavior are destructive, to the self and others, in adulthood. BPD is a personality disorder that attempts to make sure that others will not abandon the sufferer--at any cost. For those close to someone with BPD, this means a life of chaos. As with all personality disorders, the effects of BPD are on a spectrum, and while some behaviors hold true for certain individuals, others may express certain behaviors to a lesser or more intense degree. What are important to spot are the hallmarks of BPD. Have you or your loved one ever felt:● Feelings of intense insecurity?● Low self-worth?● The inability to trust yourself to make clear decisions?● The inability to know what is best for you?● Paranoia?● Unstable relationships?● Emotional instability?● A severe reaction to real or perceived rejection?● An uncertain sense of self?If any of these markers read true for you, then this book is a must-read at the beginning of your journey.This book does not purport to be a stand-in for a medical professional and you should not approach reading as to diagnosis yourself or a loved one. What is of benefit is a better understanding of this complex disorder that most clinicians struggle to diagnose accurately. ● The first step to healing is awareness of BPD's intricacies and self-awareness. ● This book removes blame from those who suffer from BPD and those who live within its proximity. ● BPD is a battle for survival, and this book compassionately approaches the steps needed to cross the bridge from survival to a thriving life. Offering evidence-based research and anecdotal examples from BPDs and their loved ones, this guidebook shows how there can be optimism where there was once only confusion and despair. Are you ready for relief?
