I don't believe writing, being creative is suffering. It's a joy. Of course writers, poets, artists, chefs, any other creative has a slightly different way of thinking, perhaps more eccentric, but hopefully not crazy.

I have benefited from what you might call the collective wisdom of others about what it means to live with BPD and other conditions. This wisdom comes from the reflections of other writers, from specialists, indeed a range of commentators.

Finding solutions to my BPD problems and telling about what works for me taps into my creative resources and it also requires investigating my own trial and error efforts to create a personally satisfying life in order to separate what works from what doesn’t work. Finding solutions and what works in one’s own life is a form of artistry that can result in highly individual and unique solutions and outcomes.

I like to think that my book, my 85,000 word account of what I call My Chaos Narrative taps into both my own wisdom and experience and the collective wisdom of others looking for a better quality of life by writing about what has been helpful for them as sufferers with BPD or some other condition or, indeed, as a loved one or family member.
