Title: best books to read ? Post by: dobie on May 20, 2015, 03:30:28 AM OK I'm looking for a reading list on BPD that deals with the high functioning types , adult immaturity , stunted emotional development , the waif type etc
I've read "walking on eggs shells" and "search for the real self" I have "loving someone with BPD" on order as well . Looking for stuff that deals with the "pro victim mentality" as well Most of the stuff I've seen is about keeping a r/s alive or deals with the obvious low functioning types Got a lot of books on order about self help for me as well :) Happy to read academic or more approachable works . I'm looking to understand and correlate my experiences with my x and the disorder she has . Title: Re: best books to read ?

Post by: ReclaimingMyLife on May 20, 2015, 06:20:35 AM This isn't on BPD, but after my last two b/u's I listened to "It's Called A Bfeak-Up B/c It's Broken." While written for women, the points wouldn't be lost on you at all. It is funny and right on and very affirming that bad behavior is bad behavior. Listening to it whenever I was in the car helped me "stay the course" and avoid the dance of repeated get-back-together/break-up BS. MUCH funnier to listen to than to read. Fun and affirming. Two things often missing in my r/s!

Post by: DyingLove on May 20, 2015, 01:23:05 PM Reading a book called GETTING PAST YOUR BREAKUP by Susan J. Elliot.
Chapter 2: THE RULES OF DISENGAGEMENT: GOING "NO CONTACT" WITH YOUR EX. I'm liking this chapter so far. Doesn't seem to be related to BPD, but everything talked about so far is right on the money as far as going toward getting over you addiction to the exes. Title: Re: best books to read ? Post by: Madison66 on May 20, 2015, 02:01:06 PM A little different take, here. I read some of the books mentioned on this site that were excellent, but the one that really spoke to me was "Gifts Of Imperfection" by Brene Brown. It helped me turn the corner on my recovery by helping me to look inward to find self love and acceptance. Good stuff!
