Ok, so everyone MUST get Janine's book "Unraveling." I finally got my copy today (it took about two weeks to come in, ordered it from Barnes & Noble) and it's great! I find myself laughing out loud because some of the things she describes are so exactly me, things I never even realized others felt. One thing in particular is I say to myself, repeatedly, "my name is michael and I live at 123 Road street" when I feel my thoughts spiraling out of control and Janine talks of doing just this. It is a great book, and very helpful. I've read about half of it so far. Thanks Janine for the extraodinary book!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, "Unravelling" was a great book. It's one of those books you want to keep by your bedside for those dark nights when things are incomparably horrible. To be totally honest, i snuggled up with my copy in bed almost every night. I even caressed it, at times, in a not-so-platonic way. :oops:

Not to mention that it's the only book that i've ever been able to completely relate to when it comes to my dp. The de-facto bible for this disorder actually, which makes one wonder why it hasn't been published for a wider audience.

The only qualm i had with it...and it's such a quibbly qualm that i feel somewhat sheepish even mentioning it...but i'm just not sure why she had the russian ambassador get assassinated in the Louvre. I was really growing fond of her and i felt the death was a little gratuitous, to be perfectly honest. Other than that, smashing book!

Read the book. It's cheap. Barnes and Noble has it. reason I say this besides it being a very helpul book is that your word "cure" will be explained in detail in her treatise.

But if you need a book to take to bed (reference above post) and caress in a non platonic way, I would suggest "Old Man And The Sea".
