Summary
From authors Paul T. Mason and Randi Kreger comes an essential guide to understanding borderline personality disorder and protecting yourself if someone you know suffers from BPD.
Even though I'm still in a lot of pain, gaining a better understanding of the pain and struggles my loved ones go through, as well as recognizing my role in these relationships, has given me a sense of direction. Considering I've had personal experience with BPD since I can remember - with my father, two brothers, husband, and both children, not to mention caring for my grandmother and mother-in-law with Alzheimer's - you'd think I'd be an expert.
I've spent my whole life blaming myself and trying to fix everything and everyone. But now, I'm finally learning to let go of the self-blame and guilt, realizing that I can only change myself, my thoughts, and my actions. I plan on revisiting this book regularly, hoping to find a way to love them all and build positive relationships without losing myself in the process.
The authors of 'Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care about Has Borderline Personality Disorder' offer concise explanations of BPD behavior and offer practical remedies. Nonetheless, their approach to the content comes across as forceful and even conceited.
I'm really happy that I stumbled upon this book. It was the first time I've ever seen BPD explained so clearly. It really helped me gain a deeper understanding of the disorder and how to effectively handle my loved one who is affected by it. It also provided valuable insights into other aspects I was struggling with but didn't fully comprehend. Although the situation is still challenging, having a better grasp on the clinical and social aspects of BPD has been incredibly beneficial.
After reading through the feedback, it seems to me that those who expressed a negative opinion might be individuals with BPD who dislike confronting their own reflection and feeling vulnerable. Personally, I discovered this book to be incredibly enlightening and I am immensely grateful for stumbling upon it. I particularly valued the advice on handling intense anger, managing the inevitable confusion, and establishing healthy boundaries.
If you find yourself in a relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder, "Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care about Has Borderline Personality Disorder" provides valuable insights and guidance to navigate such dynamics.
The book is written and narrated excellently. I gained a wealth of knowledge about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I highly recommend it. Best of luck!
If you're searching for a book that offers positive support, this one might not be the ideal choice, as it tends to have a negative tone. It appears to be written by someone who is expressing their frustration with living alongside someone who has BPD. While it does offer some useful tools, the overall tone can come across as frustrated, and the reader's performance seems to be filled with anger. I personally wish that the reader had conveyed less emotion and more empathy. Can anyone else detect a hint of judgment in her voice?
10 years ago, I got my hands on the first edition of "Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care about Has Borderline Personality Disorder" and it completely transformed my life. It made me realize that I wasn't going crazy while trying to take care of my sibling who has BPD. This book not only educated me about the disorder but also gave me the confidence to set boundaries, which was crucial. Fast forward to now, after a decade, my parents have run out of options to deal with the ongoing issues and I managed to convince them to read this book. It has been a significant and eye-opening step for them. It has opened a door for us to work together in supporting my sibling. I'm extremely grateful for this book and all the contributors.
Recently, I listened to the third edition and it reaffirmed the importance of dealing with a loved one who has BPD. The new additions and research included in this edition were incredibly helpful.
I had no clue about the true extent of my borderline personality disorder until I listened to this book. The different perspectives offered here allowed me to see myself in a whole new light. It was eye-opening and enough to motivate me to make some real changes in my life. Now, I've learned to observe, step back, evaluate, and let things unfold naturally, rather than trying to force anything.
This audiobook really helped me differentiate between my ex and their borderline personality disorder. It allowed me to reflect on the intense rollercoaster I endured for more than 5 years with greater comprehension. Although I'm still in the process of extricating myself from the relationship and discovering more about myself, I highly suggest this audiobook to anyone currently navigating the tumultuous waters of a relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder.
