This week I talk about relationships and how you work within them with an MI (mental illness). I also refer to a books that I have reviewed. Check out my thorough reviews:

Lost In the Mirror Chap 1-10
I am halfway through this book. It has been a hard read for me. The chapters are short, the language easy…BUT the emotions that are associated are not so easy.
Here is a synopsis of what I have been going through in the first half of this book:
Chapter 3 elicits particular interest to me as it [...]
Book: Lost in the Mirror by Richard Moskovitz, MD
I just got this book through booksfree. It’s another in depth look at borderline personality disorder. I have come to the conclusion that every book I read about BPD will be one that sounds like someone has been taking notes inside my own head for years. This book is definitely no exception. I am only [...]
Sometimes I Act Crazy: Emptiness and Anger
I have indeed been reading while I was gone. I finished the chapter on Emptiness and moved onto the Anger section. Talk about being blown away. I get angry sometimes to the point of seeing death all around me. I don’t act on my feelings, other than screaming at the top of my lungs or [...]
Chapter 6:Emptiness
This chapter is taking longer for me to get through than I ever anticipated. The book is only 12 chapters long, but this one has me hung up. Emptiness is a feeling that has nearly consumed me on a daily basis. People tend to tell me that I am so full, they haven’t a clue [...]
Sometimes I Act Crazy: Ch 3-5
Thus far, these were the hardest chapters for me to read.
Chapter 3 covered interpersonal relationships. I have written before about how I am a self saboteur. I can easily go back into a number of past relationships and friendships that went stale because of my actions or attitude. Even now, my marriage teeters on the [...]
Sometimes I Act Crazy: Ch 1-3
I got the book yesterday in the mail and am now just about ready to start Chapter 4. I must say, the names in the examples given in the book could be replaced with mine and my husband’s name. The conversations between spouses are so nearly exactly identical to the ones that we have here.
Anger bubbles like indigestion
I can’t keep it together today. I woke up angry. I have been angry ever since. WHY? Who knows. Nothing today is making it any better. I have a headache now. The kid is grinding his teeth on my nerves. I can’t keep myself from yelling. Everything irks me. I am so aggravated. I can’t [...]
The Bipolar Advantage Competition
I entered a scavenger hunt competition the other day to see if I could win a book and CD from Bipolar Advantage.
Well, low and behold, I find in my email that I did win both the cd and book. I hope to be able to share with you what I think/feel as I read [...]
The Hunger inside
I was reading this pretty lengthy excerpt for the book called Hunger. I must say that I am intrigued. It’s something like the biography I yearn to finish writing. Ian Randall Wilson writes vividly about the character’s love life, his happiness, his sorrows…and all while thinking if he could find that special “one” everything would [...]
