Practical, supportive, and unapologetically honest, this book guides you through the realities of living with a personality disorder from the perspective of people who've been there. From coping with stigma and disclosure to handling relationships and seeking help in a crisis, Kay and Katja share the lessons they've learned about managing PD.
We've all seen the prettied-up image of mental illness. That movie-perfect, 'single artful tear', 'gazing wistfully out of the window' situation that conveniently disappears when you need to do the laundry. Well, life with a personality disorder isn't like that. At all.
Katja Pavlovna and Kay Garbett have been there, wading through stigma, discrimination, and all the worst bits of mental illnesses that people don't like to talk about. In this candid guide, they share the lessons they learned the hard way, to help you tackle everything from labels and disclosure to working with medical professionals and maintaining relationships.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been living with a personality disorder for years, or are supporting someone who is, this book will help you to make it through the unsexy bits and build a solid strategy to make it work.
