About this deal
It is like an anxious person suffers from anxiety and you can't tell them to calm the f*ck down, I don't know if I am managing to convey what I mean clearly. Rather than being from a place of compassion, empathy, or understanding this book feels like it was written as if BPD was a spectator sport.
However, if the following progression of stages seems like a journal of your relationship, then I Hate You, Don't Leave Me will definitely be of great interest to you. I Hate You - Don't Leave Me" details a series of non-fictional accounts of the lives and tribulations of those suffering from BPD as well as those immediately around them. First, you might notice a fear of abandonment, often immediately followed by distancing or anger that can be painful and confusing.They prefer to create guilt, fear and anger in others by projecting blame onto them - often absurdly - and thrusting the burden of decisions onto them. Our day-to-day lives change at a remarkable pace, leaving each generation increasingly isolated from yesterday's culture, which seems laughably outdated the next day. The person may exhibit signs of self-mutilation, and you may see or be shown self-inflicted cuts on their body.
a good resource for professionals and families, because it provides therapists with concrete ideas to incorporate both instruction and hope into their practice by providing patients and their families suggestions in simple, non-condescending language. The overall feel and tone is demeaning and dehumanizing and for a book recommended by my Doctor and Psychiatrist I found it lack the supportive feel I was expecting.If you know someone who has BPD, it may help to recognize that their responses are part of their condition. People with bpd are HIGHLY capable of empathy because their feelings are heightened—they feel hurt so viscerally.
