Overview

"Some life experiences can only be dealt with by writing about them. Some poems flow out of you in a breath, and some are jagged edges you love the same way you love your jagged edges, your rawness. In this anthology of poems, Soph discusses what it means to live with Borderline Personality Disorder in a world that is determined to tell you you are """"too much"""". """"Too much"""" is the definition of living with BPD- everything is too much. Happiness is euphoria, sadness is depression, anger is rage, """"normal"""" is endless emptiness; you go from emotion to emotion in a heartbeat and struggle to cope with the aftermath of it all. This anthology is about the nature of empathy. It seeks to offer an understanding that one's feelings are valid, and there is no such thing as """"too much"""" of you. You aren't a countable entity, you are a whole being with whole emotions and intensity is not the death trap it sometimes feels like."
