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

Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by a seemingly irrational fear of being abandoned and alone. Often confused with bi-polar disorder, BP disorder leaves the sufferer with a terrible sense of emptiness and depression, and often suicidal ideation. It is however also incredibly difficult for loved ones and others to live and work around people with the condition. BPD is thought to be manifest in very early childhood experiences, and sufferers and those around them, experience a person who can be kind, generous, warm, amusing, and sincere in one moment, and then someone who changes to become manipulative, aggressive, violent, and paranoid, with an apparently irrational explanation. This book is not aimed at helping the sufferer (many good books are available), rather it is aimed to empower and inform people who are suffering as a result of a close relationship with a person who has the condition of borderline personality disorder. Often these people feel they are offering valuable support and care, and are then treated in the most appallingly abusive way. The book looks at both the causes of the condition, and the triggers of the behavioural outbursts. Mason and Kreger have given tools to support others to deal with the problems that arise, as well as providing sufferers with the condition some insight into how their condition affects others.
