Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder

If you have been on an emotionally draining roller coaster with a loved one..
Please READ THIS. We all have dealt with emotionally unstable people. They tend to blame you for their emotional state, and you're left in a state of perpetual confusion about yourself. This gets worse if it's a loved one - a sibling, an ex or a current girlfriend, or a parental figure - you spend a considerable amount of time tiptoeing around them, being hyper-vigilant about you making sure you don't trigger them, which could result in them blowing up. This is called Borderline personality disorder. We all have met and experienced this with at least one person in our lives. The book describes their unstable personality and what causes them. The first half of the book gives you a lot of aha moments, and the second half can just be glanced over. If you've had an emotionally abusive gf or a sibling or a parent who erodes your emotional well-being, this could be a life saver for you. BPD abuse is real and we desperately need more awareness about it, especially in India where we are taught to venerate elders or revere your gf just because of their age or gender. This very belief creates a breeding ground for BPD and Narcissism. This book will help you to save yourself - although you'll be able to look at them with compassion from a distance.

Answers so many questions!!!
An amazing book! I have read it three times now, as well as listening to it (it’s included as a free download if you’re an audible plus member).I’ve spent so long wondering why things are the way they are, now I have answers. Instrumental in showing me how I’ve been responding incorrectly to this behavior from others all of this time and has helped me realize that I’m not losing my mind.Highly recommended for those who interact with people suffering from Cluster B disorders.
