I Hate You—Don't Leave Me
Understanding the Borderline Personality
(0 reviews)
"AM I LOSING MY MIND?"
People with Borderline Personality Disorder experience such violent and frightening mood swingsthat they often fear for their sanity. They can be euphoric one moment, despairing and depressed the next. There are an estimated 10 million sufferers of BPD living in America today—each displaying remarkably similar symptoms:
- a shaky sense of identity
- sudden violent outbursts
- oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection
- brief, turbulent love affairs
- frequent periods of intense eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies
- an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone
For years BPD was difficult to describe, diagnose, and treat. But now, for the first time, Dr. Jerold J. Kreisman, and health writer Hal Strauss, offer much-needed professional advice, helping victims and their families to understand and cope with this troubling, shockingly widespread affliction.
