About the Book
Across the Line of a Borderline is a deeply personal journey through the world of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) — told with honesty, vulnerability, and hope. Written by Mia Mechrek, a 24-year-old Lebanese author, this memoir blends raw storytelling with practical self-help tools to guide readers toward understanding and healing.
Through vivid reflections, emotional insights, and interactive exercises, Mia sheds light on the challenges of emotional intensity, identity struggles, and the search for stability. But beyond the pain, this book is also about growth — learning to self-regulate, love without fear, and find peace in imperfection.
More than a memoir, Across the Line of a Borderline is a movement to break the silence around mental health in Lebanon and the Arab world. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, too much, or not enough — offering compassion, clarity, and a path toward healing.
