Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder

Please READ THIS. We all have dealt with emotionally unstable people. They tend to blame you for their emotional state, and you're left in a state of perpetual confusion about yourself. This gets worse if it's a loved one - a sibling, an ex or a current girlfriend, or a parental figure - you spend a considerable amount of time tiptoeing around them, being hyper-vigilant about you making sure you don't trigger them, which could result in them blowing up. This is called Borderline personality disorder. We all have met and experienced this with at least one person in our lives. The book describes their unstable personality and what causes them. The first half of the book gives you a lot of aha moments, and the second half can just be glanced over. If you've had an emotionally abusive gf or a sibling or a parent who erodes your emotional well-being, this could be a life saver for you. BPD abuse is real and we desperately need more awareness about it, especially in India where we are taught to venerate elders or revere your gf just because of their age or gender. This very belief creates a breeding ground for BPD and Narcissism. This book will help you to save yourself - although you'll be able to look at them with compassion from a distance.

Explica algunas cosas que mas o menos coinciden y explican las cosas que hacia la persona por la que compre este libro (como la mayoria que ha comprado este libro, por alguien). Me hubiese gustado que se profundizara en ciertos temas pero entiendo que para un libro que intenta explicar algo tan complejo, es difícil. Aun asi recomiendo su lectura

beautiful book

Dealing with borderline personality disorder in a loved one is extremely challenging, and this book offers clear, practical guidance rooted in real clinical understanding. As someone who grew up with a parent with BPD, I found the explanations and strategies in this book both validating and genuinely useful. It helped me make sense of years of confusion and gave me tools I could actually apply. One thing worth emphasizing: Stop Walking on Eggshells is not a substitute for a professional diagnosis. If someone suspects BPD in themselves or a loved one, a proper clinical evaluation is essential. The book does a great job highlighting why self-diagnosis—especially from media portrayals—is unreliable and can create more harm than clarity. This resource helped me tremendously alongside therapy, and I believe it can offer the same clarity and support to many others trying to navigate these difficult dynamics.

Great book, so informative, helpful and supportive. Thoroughly recommend this to those this is written for. It is not only the content but the way in way it is written that makes it so spot on.

Having been with my partner for 25 years and never quite understanding why it was so up and down. The diagnosis of my partner with bpd cluster b gave it a title. This book helped me understand better and the tools to heal myself and start building myself back up. Bpd is a terrible mental health issue. The sad thing is the partners, family don't understand whats going on. This book is a great help with this
