Notes:

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) causes emotional instability.

BPD sufferers may blame others for their emotional state, leading to confusion for loved ones.

The book 'Stop Walking on Eggshells' provides insights and strategies for dealing with BPD.

The first half of the book is particularly enlightening, while the second half can be less critical.

The book encourages compassion towards those with BPD but stresses the importance of self-care for the non-BPD person.

BPD can often coexist with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).

Awareness and understanding of BPD are important, especially in cultures that may normalize emotional instability.

It can be helpful for individuals in difficult relationships to set boundaries and consider their own mental health.

The book includes practical advice for navigating relationships with someone who has BPD or NPD.

Readers note the importance of seeking professional help when dealing with BPD in loved ones.
