Girl in Need of a Tourniquet
Girl in Need of a Tourniquet: Memoir of a Borderline Personality | Merri Johnson
4 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
An honest and compelling memoir, Girl in Need of a Tourniquet is Merri Lisa Johnson's account of her borderline personality disorder and how it has affected her life and relationships. Johnson describes the feeling of "bleeding out" -- unable to tell where she stopped and where her partner began. A self-confessed "psycho girlfriend," she was influenced by many emotional factors from her past. She recalls her path through a dysfunctional, destructive relationship, while recounting the experiences that brought her to her breaking point. In recognizing her struggle with borderline personality disorder, Johnson is ultimately able to seek help, embarking on a soul-searching healing process. It's a path that is painful, difficult, and at times heart-wrenching, but ultimately makes her more able to love and coexist in healthy relationships.

Good grief, I couldn't even get past the first three chapters. Even being a fellow sufferer of BPD I couldn't relate and found this impossible to follow - too . . hyper, like she was writing while jacked on something.

Girl in Need of a Tourniquet is a beautifully written memoir of borderline personality disorder. The writing is so rich it evokes the emotional chaos, struggle and healing the writer experienced perfectly. I re-read this one regularly.

This is a little stack of books my therapy office.
