More an illustrated memoir than a graphic novel; most story is print Another of those hybrid books that ends up in my pile of library holds because its been catalogued with the graphic novels despite only one-quarter of the pages actually being in what I consider a comic book format. The majority of it is text in a hard-to-read sans serif font with spot illustrations every page or two. Take away the pictures, blank chapter breaks, and the overly generous gutter margins and there are about 100 pages of essays on the author's mental health issues. The first 50 pages are fairly strong and drew me in with listicles, the first comic section and opening essay, but then as the book settles into mostly text mode it alternates equally between material that moved me and moments that annoyed me. Still, I appreciated the information and perspective offered, as -- sadly -- most of my knowledge about borderline personality disorder comes from watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"A witty and one-of-a-kind debut graphic memoir detailing and drawing the life of a girl with borderline personality disorder finding her way-and herself-one day at a time. What does it feel like to fall in love too hard and too fast, to hate yourself in equal and opposite measure? To live in such fear of rejection that you drive friends and lovers away? Welcome to my world. I'm Courtney, and I have borderline personality disorder (BPD), along with over four million other people in the United States. Though I've shown every classic symptom of the disorder since childhood, I wasn't properly diagnosed until nearly a decade later, because the prevailing theory is that most people simply "grow out of it." Not me. In my illustrated memoir The Way She Feels: My Life on the Borderline in Pictures and Pieces, I share what it's been like to live and love with this disorder. Not just the hospitalizations, treatments, and residential therapy, but the moments I found comfort in cereal, the color pink, or mini corn dogs; the days I couldn't style my hair because I thought the blow-dryer was going to hurt me; the peace I found when someone I love held me. This is a book about vulnerability, honesty, acceptance, and how to speak openly-not only with doctors, co-patients, friends, family, or partners, but also with ourselves"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
