Product Description

Review
Touted as the only book of its kind, this is a firsthand account of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). An accountant and mother of three, Reiland (a pseudonym) tells the poignant story of her life, which included all-too-familiar episodes of anorexia, promiscuity, impulsiveness, suicide attempts, institutionalization in a mental hospital, and often unrelenting, anger-intensive, violent, and unpredictable behavior. This is not intended as a text for treatment but a story of how one person lived with and overcame an affliction that many professionals view as untreatable. What results is a gripping, fast-paced narrative that's often hard to put down and will no doubt inspire sufferers and caretakers to march on. It is a story based on stark reality and hope, much like Steve Hamilton's I Want My Life Back. Recommended for all public and academic libraries as a complement to treatment guides like Jerold J. Kreisman and Hal Straus's I Hate You, Don't Leave Me. Melody Ballard, Washoe Cty. Lib. Syst., Reno Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Not Supposed to Be Here: My Recovery from Borderline Per, 30 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm Not Supposed to Be Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder (Paperback)
Rachel's story of both her life living with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and her recovery from the disorder, is an extremely poignant one. This is one of the most emotionally intense and draining books I have ever read, but I am honoured to have had the opportunity to read about Rachel's life. For people both with and without BPD, this book is an incredible journey and anyone reading it may find themselves holding back the tears. For people with BPD, this book is a chance to discover that you are not alone (although please be aware that the book may be "triggering" to some people). For people without BPD, this book is a chance to discover what it is really like to live life with such a profoundly emotionally, socially and even physically debilitating disorder. I strongly recommend reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too close for comfort, 30 Aug 2005
By A Customer
As someone who has had the diagnosis of BPD and who has recovered from it, against a lot of 'expert' opinion, I was interested to read this book. I have many times doubted the veracity of my diagnosis but found myself identifying in many ways with the author. This is a powerful book but one which nonetheless can seem as if recovery was pretty quick and relatively easy to achieve, even though this is not the case. She may come over to some as an immature attention-seeking woman but knowing the illness as I do, she is simply displaying classical symptoms of the illness. If you have or have recovered from BPD, this is an excellent but sometimes painful book; if you are a family member you might get some understanding of BPD from the perspective of a sufferer who can look back with hindsight. It's a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 14 Dec 2004
By fluffynurse (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
I have found it surprisingly difficult to find books about BPD from a sufferer's perspective, and the ones written by 'experts' have not been helpful for me on the whole.

This book gives a detailed account of what it is like to live within the chaos of borderline personality disorder. It shows how the therapeutic relationship with a therapist can transform the most disturbed of souls. Well worth a read if you identify yourself as having BPD.
