The BPD Journals Collection: Books I - III - Paperback

by Sean Alten (Illustrator), Topher Edwards (Author)

"Sometimes the darkness seems too much, the weight you carry threatens to crush you, and optimism becomes a foggy abstraction."

Borderline personality disorder has thrown his life into a state of unbearable pain and constant instability. Piece by piece, emotional turmoil and addiction chips away at his psyche, triggering a downward spiral into a pit of hopelessness and despair. Despondent and alone, he must face off against an illness that is invisible, volatile, and unforgiving.

Through a collection of raw, unfiltered, and eye-opening journals, Topher Edwards reveals the agonizing struggle to understand and cope with mental illness. Experience his harrowing and chaotic journey through depression, mania, love, loss, addiction, self-harm, and uncertainty from Topher's shocking and poignant firsthand perspective.

This brand-new collection contains:

• Volumes 1 to 3 of 'The BPD Journals' series - 'A Year in the Life', 'Remission and Relapse', and 'Stable Instability'
• A clearer and more complete picture of Topher's story through a more seamless reading experience
• A new introduction and afterword, reflecting on his 5 year journey since first publishing, as well as updates on his three-year hiatus from writing and what might be next
