Heartbreak In The Time of Coronavirus

Liliana Katherine Morrison writes a deeply psychoanalytical memoir about navigating COVID-19 after attempting suicide and being hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, she lays bare her childhood wounds, her broken relationships, and how she drove away the love of her life. The book chronicles her descent into madness, the stories of other patients, and her reintegration into a world driven mad by the global pandemic. Thrown into society's "new normal", Liliana is forced to rebuild herself, attending weekly out-patient therapy, learning Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and slowly unraveling hidden truths about her past relationship that threaten to destroy her all over again. In the face of personal and global fear, how does one both face reality and heal herself? Liliana explores this universal question as she battles her illness and learns to think differently, act differently, and slowly begins to heal.
