Tormented - An Anthology of Borderline Personality Disorder

My name is Sarah and, in my lifetime I've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and bipolar with psychosis. This anthology centres around borderline personality disorder.


This is the second book in a series of anthologies about mental ill-health. It has been the hardest and most personal to write. I have now mostly healed from having BPD. I still have the symptoms but they are milder and much easier to manage. I also have collected a range of self-care strategies along the way. If this anthology reaches one person with BPD who feels like there's no hope I would want them to know that it does get better. There is hope.

This book comes with a trigger warning for self-harm, and eating disorder.

"BPD is perhaps still one of the most challenging of diagnosis's as emotional instability, disturbed patterns of thinking mean that maintaining long-term meaningful relationships can be difficult yet also a necessity in supporting the individual with BPD. The sheer fortitude of will is evident within Sarah's book and she provides an honest and insightful glimpse into the world of a 'wounded healer'."
