Borderline Personality Support Group

I know! I have BPD and I've always been in long-term, serious relationships.

Hello,

The book ''Understanding the Borderline Mother'' by Christine Lawson really helped me a lot to understand my childhood and why I became borderline. It took a lot of the guilt away and I felt a lot more normal after reading it.

Here's the Amazon link with readers' comments at the bottom:

Me

I;m new to my diagnoses and my counselor recommended I read the Buddha and the Borderline by Kiera Van Gelder. It's a memoir of her personal experience with Borderline Personality Disorder and her recovery process. It's not a skills book by any means but I really related to her experiences and it was good insight into what DBT therapy might be like. There's also a 45 minute video called Back from the Edge that's available at Amazon, it's similar to the videos that the psych wards usually show for education purposes. I hope this might be helpful.

it sounds weird but i read the complete idiot's guide to borderline personality disorder. i found it very helpful

anybody heard of stop walking on eggshells? my man asked me to look at the bookstore for it for him, they were going out of business, so got the bpd survival guide for him...

heard of it but haven't read it

I am reading "Psychotherapy of the Borderline Adult" by James Masterson. It may be geared to professionals, but I find it SO much less judgmental than some of the newer stuff.

I am reading "Stop Walking on Eggshells" right now to learn more about the symptoms; it hit some on the head.

Next will be: The Angry Heart, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love-Overcoming Borderline, The Emotional Abusive Relationship, Emotional Blackmail, and Toxic Parents. I am also reading "Regaining You Life Back" -from childhood abuse.

Rachele, who is the author of the one you're reading now?

Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified by Robert O. Friedel is helping me get a grip.

Not judgmental at all. Published 2004.

Thanks for some other titles.
