Sometimes I Act Crazy: Living with Borderline Personality Disorder by Hal Straus, Jerold J. Kreisman
3.0
Honestly, I loved I Hate You Don’t Leave Me, but this book doesn’t measure up at all.
An interesting read if you want some insight on bpd, but I would say read with caution if you personally suffer from this disorder. There are things I found offensive. Ie: “minimize this spreading psychiatric plague”.
And reading a case study about a therapist attending a visitation at a patients home!? A terrible thing to teach borderlines..
Overall, I think it was worth the read. It helped me recognize that certain thoughts/actions of mine relate to having bpd. And taught me some coping mechanisms (mainly gave me tools to help those around me—-which in turn helps me). Just don’t expect anything life changing.
