Anyone ever read a book with this title? What did you think of it?

Anyone ever feel this way?

An ex boyfriend gave me a copy of the book years back when we broke up as if to tell me what a psycho girlfriend i was. It describes "borderline personality disorder". A list of the symptoms of this seemed to apply to at least 90% of all women. The book seemed more aimed at men and might have been better titled "I hate it when you get emotional"

Had a row today with DH during which I felt this way and might have almost laughed if I hadn't been so busy fuming while doing angry sweeping...

Read it, my mother has some of the traits described. All people have some elements of the various personality disorders...doesn't mean you are borderline. I know I have some of the traits described. But so long as you are aware of your flaws and recognise them for what they are...your fine

I agree with ally90,we all have character traits that could diagnose us as borderline this or that, just like most men display traits which could label them 'borderline ASD'.
