ReviewsTouted as the only book of its kind, this is a firsthand account of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). An accountant and mother of three, Reiland (a pseudonym) tells the poignant story of her life, which included all-too-familiar episodes of anorexia, promiscuity, impulsiveness, suicide attempts, institutionalization in a mental hospital, and often unrelenting, anger-intensive, violent, and unpredictable behavior. This is not intended as a text for treatment but a story of how one person lived with and overcame an affliction that many professionals view as untreatable. What results is a gripping, fast-paced narrative that's often hard to put down and will no doubt inspire sufferers and caretakers to march on. It is a story based on stark reality and hope, much like Steve Hamilton's I Want My Life Back. Recommended for all public and academic libraries as a complement to treatment guides like Jerold J. Kreisman and Hal Straus's I Hate You, Don't Leave Me. Melody Ballard, Washoe Cty. Lib. Syst., Reno Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information., "Rachel Reiland's Get Me Out of Here is here to declare that raging mental illness can be cured." --Jerold J. Kreisman, MD, coauthor of I Hate You, Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality

Awesome book; well-written
I have only read just over 100 pages before I had to loan it out to a therapist friend. If the other 300 + pages read like the first 100, then I know I will enjoy reading the book. It is emotionally difficult to read though. Knowing it is true, makes it even harder. What I love most is the candid way in wihich the author tells her story. I have read several books in an attempt to better understand our daughter who suffers from BPD. This book makes it possible to understand it from the inside looking out, rather than the outside looking in. Superb writing job! I could do without the strong language, but I do understand that the language is as much a part of her life as any other lifelong habit or skill she possesses.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

So relatable, can’t put down
Read very quickly. She relays her struggles so well, and keeps the content interesting. The intertwining between her thoughts and the conversations with her therapy are well played. The content has made me cry at times and realize that though our situations are different, that recovery is possible. She has given me hope as I was just diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and was really pessimistic about my own situation. Her ups and downs are well written and the book is by far the best psychology book I have read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
