    Books for BPD: The BPD Workbook Review

    This post was written by Jasper

    Books for BPD: Introduction

    The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook by Daniel J Fox, PhD is a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing BPD. It’s written for those diagnosed with the disorder, as well as those who care about them or just want to learn more.

    The book offers an in-depth look into the causes of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and practical advice on how to cope with it. It’s packed with exercises and strategies designed to help readers gain greater self-awareness, manage their emotions, build healthier relationships, and make positive changes in their lives. This review goes over the chapters, sections and exercises found in The Borderline Personality Workbook—one of the best available books for BPD, as well as Audrey’s thoughts on its effectiveness for treating borderline personality disorder.

    Borderline Personality Disorder and God: A Christian Perspective

    bpd blog post from a christian perspective

    Trigger Warning:  Christianity in a favorable light. Read at your own discretion.

    This post was written by Brianna Rhodes

    It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post—a little over a year, actually. Yikes. I wanted to start this by thanking everyone who has reached out about my blog post, Borderline Personality Disorder and the Church.

    The stories I’ve read have touched my heart deeply, and I’m honored that anyone would share their life with me. I’ve been incredibly encouraged by everyone’s words, and I’m so grateful that the Lord is using my story to help others.

    Now to the juicy stuff! BPD and Christianity.

    People with BPD often get stuck in the “all-or-nothing” thinking. BPD makes finding shades of grey nearly impossible. That’s a huge part of why maintaining healthy relationships is so difficult. As soon as someone we love does something even remotely “bad” (i.e., no response to a text, invalidating our emotions, rejections, disagreements, criticism…you get the point), our view of them changes. It happens instantly against our will. Our adult self doesn’t want this to happen—it makes us sick to our stomach with sadness—but some triggered parts grab the steering wheel from us. 

    * Note: we all have parts; they’re not exclusive to people with BPD. Research IFS (internal family systems) if you want to know more!

    Working with Borderline Personality Disorder: An Inside Look to BPD and Work

    Written by Leon Hartwell

    Struggles with BPD at Work

    I am confident that my struggles with BPD and work are not personal to me, at least in regards to keeping a job. I’ve never struggled with getting a job. In fact, ironically enough, I’m a talented interviewer (most likely because I’ve had so much practice at it), and getting a job is usually not a problem for me – evidenced by the many jobs I’ve held for a short-term basis.

    I’ve been questioning why I struggle so much to hold a position. Questions with the overarching theme of self-doubt and self-shame inevitably fill my mind, threatening to overwhelm me with all the superfluous sentiments of shame, bitterness, and even hatred. A balloon with too much helium will eventually pop. The once thick layer of latex becomes thinner and thinner as more helium is added. Eventually, the wall of latex will be stretched too far, and the balloon will undoubtedly pop. Likewise with my mind. After so many unnecessary paranoid thoughts, I eventually will pop too.

    How Does BPD Contribute to My Sensitive Writing Skills as a Writer? (In Their Words)

    The following post was written by Daniela Silva & was originally posted on Psychreg

    Writers with BPD

    “For people with Borderline Personality Disorder, expressing themselves artistically can be an outlet for dealing with emotional instability, managing emotions, learning to see the world in a palette of colors (rather than in black and white), finding creative solutions to problems, and thinking outside the box. In this personal essay, I would like to shed light on how positive characteristics of the borderline trait such as intensity and passion, creativity, high sensitivity, and reactivity have been the driving force behind my career as a writer and help me to write profound and visceral articles for an audience that does not stop growing: a mental health audience!

    After a series of misdiagnoses, as Borderline Personality Disorder can also have comorbidities such as depression and anxiety, I was diagnosed with BPD at the age of 38. Under the guidance of my psychiatrist, I got to know Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a psychotherapeutic approach indicated for people with high emotional dysregulation.
