After much thought, and a months worth of DBT sessions Ive realised Im not taking this as seriously as I should be. Its time to do this now or I will never have control of my life.


List of books I have bought -


&gt; Loving Someone with Borderline Personality Disorder: How to Keep Out-of-Control Emotions from Destroying Your Relationship

* A book for yourself, family and friends. The least descriminative book I could find which helps to understand the condition and for friends to understand it too.


&gt; The Borderline Personality Disorder Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Living with BPD

* Personally, I know what BPD is but at the same time I dont. This book will help to analyse triggers and understand that this is something that isnt comepletely out of our control.


&gt; The Mindfulness Solution for Intense Emotions: Take Control of Borderline Personality Disorder with DBT

* My biggest issue is how explosive my emotions are and how they influence my every thought and action. This book teaches how to recognise the core of the problem; looking back at the past to find out why we respond the way we do and learning to overcome it.


&gt; Buddha &amp; The Borderline: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder Through Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Buddhism, &amp; Online Dating

* I cant remember who on this sub but this has been recommended to me by someone on this sub a few times. After reading the prologue I understand immediately why. Its a personal account of someone with BPD and how they saved themselves.


&gt; Self-Esteem Workbook: Teach Yourself (Teach Yourself: Relationships &amp; Self-Help)

* I've recognised that a lot of my core issues are down to low self-esteem and not feeling good enough to do anything. So I attach to someone who tells me I am good enough. To cure BPD, I need to learn to love myself. If this resonates with you then consider looking at self-esteem as something to work on too.



If anybody has read these books then feel free to comment on if you found them helpful and how you've dealt with BPD after. Its a long road to recovery and changing a life style of taught behavours but its definetely cureable.
