To live in such fear of rejection that you drive friends and lovers away? Welcome to my world. I'm Courtney, and I have borderline personality disorder (BPD), along with over four million other people in the United States. Though I've shown every classic symptom of the disorder since childhood, I wasn't properly diagnosed until nearly a decade later, because the prevailing theory is that most people simply \"grow out of it.\" Not me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In my illustrated memoir, \u003cem\u003eThe Way She Feels: My Life on the Borderline in Pictures and Pieces\u003c\/em\u003e, I share what it's been like to live and love with this disorder. Not just the hospitalizations, treatments, and residential therapy, but the moments I found comfort in cereal, the color pink, or mini corndogs; the days I couldn't style my hair because I thought the blow-dryer was going to hurt me; the peace I found when someone I love held me. This is a book about vulnerability, honesty, acceptance, and how to speak openly--not only with doctors, co-patients, friends, family, or partners, but also with ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Courtney Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951142599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/31\/2021","brand":"Courtney Cook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45743998075108,"sku":"9781951142599","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781951142599.jpg?v=1730094380","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/the-way-she-feels-my-life-on-the-borderline-in-pictures-and-pieces-courtney-cook-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
