Summary
Adeline's mental health struggles destroyed every relationship she touched. She had Borderline Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and chronic suicidal ideation. No matter what the treatment, the prognosis was the same: No cure, just manage it for life. After yet another hospitalization, she moved across the country to start over. Then she met her dream man who accepted her exactly as she was—even the scary parts—and she thought her life was turning a corner. But after a painful betrayal, this too fell apart. It seemed like her mental illness would torture her forever. Desperate, she tried something no therapist had ever suggested and uncovered what was really going on. Today? She's CURED. No therapy. No suicidal thoughts. No self-harm. Her best friend literally forgot she ever had a diagnosis. If you've been told your mental health struggles make a healthy relationship impossible, Adeline's story will give you hope. She shares exactly how she turned it around—so you can too.
