As far as books go this one is breathtakingly life changing. It came into my life by accident. I found it online after a horrible episode in my life. I was definitely at a low point in life and not understanding how or why I got there… Also I couldn’t afford more therapy and my support network is, well, what you’d expect from a borderline PTSD afflicted person – flimsy, although improving. So I found this book in my search for bettering myself and I started reading it. And it just made so much sense. A lot of the posts since I started this blog are about what I’ve learnt or applied from the book. I am glad to say that I think it has helped me to grow into a more rounded me. I’m obviously not perfect (yet), but I just wanted to take this and dedicate this post to saying thank you for this book and the compassionate advice provided in it. It has helped me to start taking some of the necessary steps towards healing my soul. So thank you 🙏💕. And God bless.

I've got borderline personality disorder. I'm divorced. I'm in my early thirties. I'm really confused. I'm in a relationship. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm honest. I like to think I'm a good person. I'm definitely an empathic person. I'm a caring person. I try to make the world a better place. I experience extreme highs and extreme lows. I have difficulty processing emotions. I have difficulty maintaining relationships. I've got an extreme fear of abandonment. I'm still learning how to be a better me. I have low self-esteem. You'll have to look very far to find a more loving person than me. I love deeply and fiercely. I love dogs. I love dancing, writing, poetry. Occasionally my posts include poetry. Most of the time it's just me talking to you. It helps me process things. It helps me remember things. It helps me create a sort of constant reminder of who I am. I'm grateful to those of you who read my posts and leave a helpful comment. I try to include helpful links to resources and stuff, when I can. This platform means the world to me. I've met some really wise, amazing and supportive people. Thank you for giving me a space where I can literally just be me - no holds barred. View all posts by arielhopewhispers
