Courtney showed every classic symptom of borderline personality disorder as a child-but wasn’t diagnosed until years later because many believed she’d “grow out of it.” She’s not alone in this experience-many other people in the United States with BPD feel as if their experience with the condition is misunderstood, which can impact and influence the way that people are treated.
When it felt like there was a whirlwind of hospitalizations, treatments, therapies, and moments of comfort in Courtney’s life, she put pen to paper. From this she coined her illustrated memoir, The Way She Feels: My Life on the Borderline in Pictures and Pieces, where she shares highs, lows, triumphs, and challenges of navigating BPD, as well as how to speak candidly about the condition with those around her.
Courtney discusses her memoir as she shares her experiences navigating the condition both in and out of doctor’s offices, provides insights into how to face difficult moments before and after treatment, and answers audience questions about her life with BPD.
