Summary:
"A witty and one-of-a-kind debut graphic memoir detailing and drawing the
life
of a girl with
borderline
personality disorder finding her
way
-- and herself -- one day at a time. What does it feel like to fall in love too hard and too fast, to hate yourself in equal and opposite measure? 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. In
my
illustrated memoir The
Way
She
Feels
:
My
Life
on the
Borderline
in
Pictures
and
Pieces
, 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 corn dogs; 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."--
