Hello, and good morning to all who are interested in Borderline Personality Disorder. I welcome your curiousity. I have not contributed to my blog the last couple of months, as I have been busy writing my first book! Yes, it's a meditation book for those who have an addiction along with Borderline Personality Disorder, and there are a lot of us that fit in that category.
I have finished the book, and it is in the editing process. I am waiting for permission from one person to use excerpts from one of their books in reference to some of the days' entries. I have made 366 entries, one for each day of the year. I am hoping to get it published one way or the other. I am making plans to submit it to a published house that accepts and published books on recovery and healing. I am working on it, and other related projects. It keeps me out of the doldrums.
My name is Amy L. Allison and my aim is to share what it is like to have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It is a very misunderstood problem, and people often do not seek diagnosis or treatment. BPD affects 4-6% of the population. It's up to the Borderline themselves to moderate their recovery. This is the blog of and by a recovering Borderline patient, and is part of the website: www.alawebpages.com/webquestbpd.
