I Hate You--Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality | Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus

"Just as in climbing a mountain, the fullest experience comes when the climber can appreciate all the vistas: to look up and keep his goal firmly in view; to look down and recognize his progress as he proceeds. And finally, to rest, look around, and admire the view from right where he is at the moment.

bibliobliss Part of the experience is recognizing that no one ever reaches the pinnacle; life is a continuous climb up the mountain. A good deal of mental health is being able to appreciate the journey -- to be able to accept the reality of the Serenity Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

so-so

After hearing so much about this disorder and someone saying that they think I might have it, I decided to read this. It was really interesting. I‘d recommend it if you suspect you or someone you know suffers from BPD.

If you know someone in your life who suffers from this it is a worthwhile read, especially the chapter on communication.
