Loud in the House of Myself Memoir of a Strange Girl edition by Stacy Pershall Health Fitness Dieting eBooks

This book is a very raw expose on life as experienced by one who has BPD. Stacy's honesty was helpful in understanding the condition. What was most helpful was her explanation of how DBT changed her life. Anyone who has BPD in their lives knows the nightmarish conditions Stacy described are very very real. It was refreshing to hear how her life changed.

Having never heard of BPD six months ago I feel this book really helped educate me to understand a disorder that has affected my loved ones my entire life, and thus, has deeply affected me. This is a family disease. Reading Stacy's story helped me understand this disease so much better.

I wish that I had been warned that there are some elements of this book that are extremely sexual and very intense. It is written entirely from Stacy's perspective while she is in the depths of her illness. I definitely appreciate her honesty, and feel that, if I were to read this again for the first time, skimming over certain sections would not detract from her depiction of intense suffering.

But I did not skip over anything. Because it was just honest and real. But sensitive people please consider yourself warned.

Loud in the House of Myself Memoir of a Strange Girl edition by Stacy Pershall Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews

I absolutely love reading memoirs. Humorous memoirs, celebrity memoirs, recovering addict memoirs... I'm not picky.

However, I feel like this memoir really stands out for a few reasons

1) The reason I like memoirs is because anybody can write one everyone's life has a few interesting stories. Even a bad writer can't really screw up a good story, but I must say that I have a great respect for this author's writing ability AND her story. This woman can write circles around most of the other memoir authors I have come across.

2) Here we have a rare and honest account of mental illness that is informative, without being overly academic or too personal/subjective. It's refreshing to learn something about mental illness without being subjected to narcissistic rants or whiny "I'm such a victim" passages.

3) strictly for entertainment value, it's a fast read if you like to read about interesting creative women.

Bottom line I got a lot out of reading this book. It was definitely worth my time.
I was completely amazed while reading this book and it really and truly was a page turner. Amazed because she got as far as she did and made something of her life. ( I read that on her authors page.) But really this was a sad, scary and on occasion, funny book. It surely opened my eyes to the things people with BPD go through, although I'm sure not everyone is affected so badly by it as she was. I've known a person with BPD and she was nothing like this. But this poor girl was so far gone it was like her parents gave birth to her, threw in the ocean and told her to swim. Swim she did and with every wave she would sink to the bottom and try to come back up for air again and again, never to reach shore. Her tattoos made total sense to me as people tend to need an outlet for the locked up feelings that hurt or use to hurt. She wore her soul on the outside for all to see and she wrote a book for all to read and that takes courage to spill your private affairs. I for one have learned a lot from her book and she has helped me take another look at mental dis-eases. You do not know a person until you've seen their dark side.
So much to say. Thank you for taking the mystery out of borderline disorder. I, too, was diagnosed first with bipolar disorder and later with borderline disorder. I was prescribed several different medications over the years and waited patiently every time for some miracle to occur within me. It did not. Oh, I slept better and screamed less, but something was still wrong. Like you, I wasn't properly educated or treated initially concerning borderline disorder instead I was left believing it was a fancy way of saying my character was flawed beyond repair. The guilt, shame, sense of persecution, and my inability to deal finally found me curled up on the sofa, crippled by emotional agony. Then I met a therapist and found your book. Thank God (I use that title loosely.) for a couple of straight shoot in' son of a bitches! No disrespect intended. Finding you both at about the same time may or may not have been a coincidence, but everything you shared jived with everything he has been trying to teach me. It's been an excruciating process of recognition and self acceptance, but I wouldn't change a thing. Your epilogue was like the final veil lifted. It removed any trace of anything that could possibly be unknown or misunderstood about either disorder. The courage that you have shown in the honest sharing of your life experiences with mental illness and the path you have committed to for peace and sanity' s sake have inspired me to persist on my own path. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Keep on keepin' on.
