dragonyphoenixHere in the US, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Appropriately, and coincidentally, I’m reading Mishell Baker’s Borderline, a novel set in our world but containing mythical and fairy tale creatures, which is told from the point of view of a character who’s been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Some of the points the character makes, about handling the condition, resonate with things my therapist taught me during the two and a half years of therapy I took to treat depression. Also, the author writes about mental health on her blog. I believe she knows whereof she speaks. The writing’s good too. I’m just shy of 100 pages in, and it’s a great read so far.
