I have helped many others by talking to them and helping them to coup with what was done to them in their past. I would like to help by sharing my own story of my own journey down that dark road I even wrote my life story down well on paper havent made it all to my laptop yet. Not sure how to go about turning it into a book to help children and adults all over so im looking into maybe making some money by freelancing my story with someone. An open mind is a free mind.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03680732346350933276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-58229398607539495132017-01-11T15:16:24.244-05:002017-01-11T15:16:24.244-05:00I am very glad to hear that.

My character, like me, has BPD (write what you know, right?) and I have a better idea of the impact the character and plot will have on each other now. So thanks. :)KM Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281915863771082765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-65779064457374946842014-02-15T13:00:20.514-05:002014-02-15T13:00:20.514-05:00Crime shows can offer some insight into killers/cr...Crime shows can offer some insight into killers/criminals with a disorder.

She undergoes treatment she doesn't need and we see how it weakens her and she begins to 'lose' her mind. Thus it is a story of her strength to get out of the situation. My research includes the treatments and atmosphere of mental hospitals in that era.

Sometimes I like to write about characters who have problems almost tipping them into personality or mental disorders, or desperately trying not to go there! I suppose it's difficult because each person may behave differently, especially in different circumstances.<br />I'm certain there's still a great deal we don't know about the mind.Frankie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787954599014677407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-52995279284095072762014-02-11T15:57:31.726-05:002014-02-11T15:57:31.726-05:00Great post!
