I Hate You--Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality | Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus

"Just as in climbing a mountain, the fullest experience comes when the climber can appreciate all the vistas: to look up and keep his goal firmly in view; to look down and recognize his progress as he proceeds. And finally, to rest, look around, and admire the view from right where he is at the moment.

bibliobliss Part of the experience is recognizing that no one ever reaches the pinnacle; life is a continuous climb up the mountain. A good deal of mental health is being able to appreciate the journey -- to be able to accept the reality of the Serenity Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

I Hate You--Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality | Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus

so-so

After hearing so much about this disorder and someone saying that they think I might have it, I decided to read this. It was really interesting. I‘d recommend it if you suspect you or someone you know suffers from BPD.

How Quickly She Disappears | Raymond Fleischmann

#MOvember #catchup
I‘m so behind on Litsy & life so here is a #tripledip post. It‘s #TrueBlue is my favorite color & the cover & background represent💙well. This is Nigella‘s Thai Noodle Soup with Shrimp & it‘s delicious & would be perfect for the book‘s #Frozen Alaska setting. I‘m trying to restart this one & its tagline is “The Dry meets The Silence of the Lambs” so I guess it‘s on the #Borderline of literary suspense & psychological thriller.

My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education | Jennine Capo Crucet

Okay, my book-buying ban lasted a day. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I picked this one up because I loved her first book (tagged 👇🏻), and there has been so much controversy around this book, my library has not purchased it.

Definitely makes me think of a #borderline because Jennine is a first-generation Cuban-American. #movember @Cinfhen

(BTW, my favorite Madonna song!)

Megabooks @Cinfhen Sleepy. I‘m having trouble reading fiction right now because I‘ll get like 100 pages into a book then sleep for 12 hours and be fuzzy on what I‘ve read. I‘m sleeping through the day and up all night right now. I think I‘m just in that post surgery mess/funk. I‘m just trying not to be hard on myself right now. That‘s the main thing because I am definitely my own worst critic!! Thank you so much for asking!! 😘😘😘 (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Post surgery haze can take weeks!!! Self care and self love 💕 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen Thanks 💜💜 I‘m trying. I called my doctor‘s office Tuesday/Wednesday to see if my type of pain was normal, and they were basically like, “Two weeks after surgery, any type of pain may be normal.” (Subtext: quit worrying silly!) 5y

Texreader I was in pain at a least a month or more after similar surgery. (I cried a lot about the pain; it eventually subsided though so hang in there.) Please rest (and read). Take care of yourself. 😘 5y

Megabooks @Texreader Thank you 💙❤️💕 it‘s really helpful to hear that it will end. I know with most of my surgeries, there‘s a day where I just turn a corner and suddenly don‘t need pain medication or help with living as much. I think I‘ve gotten so caught up in that, and I‘ve forgotten that, like you said, it‘s generally a month or more after surgery. I‘m still not at 3 weeks. Patience grasshopper... 5y

rockpools 🌻🌻🌻 Wishing you a speedy recovery - take it easy 💐And wow, I hadn‘t heard of this controversy. 5y

Megabooks @RachelO The book had passed my radar, but something made me think of her last night. I looked deeper into the controversy and decided I wanted to read the essays. So far, they are excellent! And thank you! 💙💜❤️ 5y

We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.: Essays | Samantha Irby

My current audiobook. Irby's essays on topics such as love, weight, and depression sometimes straddle that #borderline between painful hilarity and hilarious pain. @cinfhen #MOvember

Cinfhen I listened to this one!! Some are very funny others not soooo much but I agree/ it‘s all done with a humorous tone and subtlety! 5y

merelybookish @Cinfhen I agree! Some are definitely funnier than others! I did laugh pretty hard at the one about her cat Helen Keller. 🤣 5y

Cinfhen Me too!!! 5y

readordierachel I love her 🧡 5y
