Watching Myself Be Borderline: A Smart Sufferer Says How It Started and How She Survives tells the story of how borderline personality disorder was induced in author Jansen Vee, how Vee has grown over forty-five years of psychotherapy, and how her strengths and gifts have allowed her to survive. Watching Myself Be Borderline is not an advice book. It's a rare first-person account and analysis by a sufferer of borderline personality disorder about her experience. Perfect for readers who themselves have borderline personality disorder or for therapists or for those whose loved ones working are sufferers, Vee's story shows that a person can be intelligent and successful and also mentally ill. Through her book, Vee hopes that other high-functioning people with mental illness will feel empowered to get appropriate help and recognize that mental illness does not equal brokenness.
