is this the first bpd novel? i have never felt so understood and also had all my mental illnesses called out by a book before 😠goethe and werther original bpd royalty
'i treat my heart like a sick child'
'if i saw blood i should feel relief... i should like to open a vein that would procure me eternal freedom'
'i want to die! i lay down to sleep, and this morning, in the calm of awaking, that thought still remains firm, still quite strong in my heart: i want to die! it is not despair, it is the certainty that my sufferings are complete, and that i am sacrificing myself for you.'
literal mood lmao. ive written so many quotes down (more than i have for any other book ever 🥴) but those are a few of my favourites that really hit me full force in the gut with all the weight of my own sufferings :))
obvious tw for suicide and self harm, i recommend this book to anyone who isn't on the verge of doing either because it will make you want to top yourself in solidarity with poor werther x
