General Feedback
Thank you so much A.J.!!! You are one of my personal heros and I mean that with UTMOST sincerety. Your articles on BPD are INVALUABLE because you speak from experience and have come out on the other side. In all my research on BPD, I've found that many "professionals" reduce it to the symptoms, which are of course just the tip of the iceberg. You have helped me more than you know and I probably wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for you. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! -- K.
Dear A.J., I just wanted to let you know how much you and your work, all that you've shared about your own life and all the insight you've shared and continue to share about BPD, has helped me in my own life. There really aren't any words, or enough words to describe this. I am so very grateful to you. I have been reading your work for over 12 years now. During that time, I have been through a lot. I have changed a lot. I have grown a lot. As someone with BPD, I guess I still have further to go. You are such an inspiration. In my humble opinion, you're the BPD guru! There's no one else online I've read anything from that has helped me as much as you have. I have also purchased several of your ebooks and audio programs and A.J., no kidding, they were more helpful, more insightful, and more worth the money even, than all of the other books I've ever purchased on the subject. Just thank you SO MUCH! - Dellaney Belamy, TX, U.S.A.
A.J. do you ever sleep? :) I hope you have some fun in your life too! You must work so hard with all the amazing stuff you have put online for so many years now. I started reading your first articles and information that you put up online way back in 1995 on sexual abuse and things like that on your self help website. I have followed you all these years. Yes, I have a lot of challenges in my life and so have had reason to want and need to read so much of your incredible work. You are a wonderfully amazing writer. I hope you know that. I want to thank you for all the work that you have done for so many years online on several different issues and on all of your websites. You have taught me more than I can describe. You have made me think so much more deeply. You have shown me the spirit-filled wonders of being as you say on your self help website, "a seeker of more". May God bless you A.J. and please keep doing what you do. You do it in your own unique way. You do it in a way that I haven't seen anyone else do it. -- Wendy Gilchrist
AJ, I take my hat off to you and you have my utmost respect for the help you are giving and the resources you are providing for those with BPD and those who care about someone with BPD. -- Tony
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for publishing excerpts from your memoir They were painful to read as they are similar to my own experiences, yet I am grateful I am not alone. I look forward to reading more on your website. -- Chris
A.J., I just had to write to you to let you know how much you have helped me. I have BPD. I was going to give up. I was planning to kill myself. For some reason, late one night, in the middle of the night, I decided to get online one more time to see if I could find a reason to live. I found your wonderful website. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your courage and all that you have written, and said in audio and video, so I, in this case, could find a reason to live. You truly inspire me. After reading your website and BPD Blog for hours, feeling sustained and finding reasons to hope - I stayed up all night. I phoned my therapist and told her how I was feeling and what I'd been planning. I reached out and got the help I needed. But, A.J., if it hadn't been for all of your work, such wonderful work over years, I know that I wouldn't be here today. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -- Mary W.
Dear A.J., I have just finished reading 3 of your ebooks, amazing and outstanding information! Thank you so much. I am the wife of
a man diagnosed with BPD. Your ebooks and the audio programs I also purchased have layed the foundation for so much needed change
and recovery in my own life. I have found my way to and through some difficult decisions. Your ebooks and audio programs were so
very helpful to me. Keep doing what you are doing. You are a very special and unique voice out there. May God bless you and your
work and your willingness to share so much of your own life and struggles to help others. -- Judy James
Dearest A.J., I thank you so very much for all you have shared of yourself and your incredible wisdom. I also thank you so much for
your care and email response. It was , as I read, a very personal 'gift' for you to have taken the time that you did in explaining
what you have to me. It is a gift, although, the realization of the truths hurt, and I know I must hear these truths. It is with much
thanks and somber gratitude, that I take to heart what you have said. -- Shell K.
Thank you so much A.J. for the very wise, compassionate, supportive, and patient way you were there for me as my life coach. I am
amazed at the wisdom that you truly have. I have been to countless therapists, talked to ministers, and others and not one single
other person helped me the way that you did. I will be forever so grateful. As someone who has had a series of unhealthy relationships
with personality disordered women, you were such a guiding light as I worked my way through to the understanding and learning of the
lessons I so needed to take in. There are just aren't enough words to express my respect for you and my gratitude. You are one very
brave and giving woman. The way that you have taken your own pain and troubled past and created the body of work you have online plus
your very skilled life coaching to help others is very admirable. Please know you have played such an important role in my life. - David J.
I cannot tell you how surprised and relieved I was to find your website. I am a 53 year old woman just coming to the knowledge
that I have Asperger’s. I sort of came to it backwards – through observing my 27 year old autistic son as it came to light that
my 11 year old son has Aspergers. I started to look much more carefully at my own history. Well, the pieces just keep falling into
place. A lifetime of what now seems to be misdiagnoses and personal cluelessness (denial with a good dose of living life with
blinders on) have just begun to fall away. What you write speaks directly to my experience and puts words to what I’ve been thinking – or am beginning to think – now that I’ve given myself permission to do so.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks. -- Sharon
Thank you so much for all you do for those of us with Asperger's Syndrome. Your perspective and insight, along with the way that you
articulate things has been so helpful to me. I am 38 ("diagnosed" with AS when I was 30). I can relate to so much that you have
written on your website and talked about in video. I just went through one of those little packages of tissues-the whole thing. I
am in tears. I feel so moved. I am feeling so much because so much of what you say is how I feel. Anyway, thank you again, & God bless.

I have now read all of your ebooks for borderlines and also purchased and listened to all of your audio programs. Soon, I think, I will
have read everything you've ever written on line. I have also now started listening to your BPD audio podcast and watching your video
podcast. A.J., you amaze me! There just isn't another person around, at all, who is as articulate as you are when it comes to BPD. I
have found hope now, thanks to you, A.J. I really know now that I will recover. I am determined. Please keep writing and speaking. You
have an incredible gift for what it is you do, just the way that you, and only you do it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Diane Vanzant
I stumbled upon your web presence (very nice diversity in sites and exposure, well done!) while examining my next steps in life.
I am a female, just turned 39, was diagnosed at 34 with Aspie and ADD. You are so articulate! You are so wise! I can't thank you
enough for all that you do. You have given me so much to think about and I find that very helpful. Thanks so much! - Rosie Watchovski
A.J., I just had to write to you. I've never written anyone else like this before. But, I just had to tell you how much help you've been
to me. I wanted you to know that your ebooks and audio programs and videos have just been so inspiring and motivating and educational to
me. I have learned so very much. Thank you for all that you do. You have a very unique voice and a substantial gift. Please don't ever
stop doing what you do. We need you! - John Taveriton
A.J., I am such a longtime fan of all of your wonderful work on and about Borderline Personality Disorder. You have been so helpful
in my own process as the husband of a woman with BPD. I tell everyone I get a chance to about you, your work, and your wonderful
website. Thank you for you incredible courage in sharing all that you have about yourself to help others. I tell everyone I get the
chance to that, "A.J. Mahari is simply the best writer on Borderline Personality Disorder that I've ever read." - Donny M.
You are a poet, an amazing writer, such a wonderful speaker, a very intelligent woman, brilliant, just brilliant and I am but one
grateful soul out here in the world with the pleasure an honor of following your work. You have helped me more ways than I could
possibly put into words. I am a non borderline. I am healing. I owe that to you. Thanks a million! -- Jeff Miller
I've listened to all of your (available) podcasts and watched many of your video clips. The information I've found in them has
resonated so strongly that it validates me in a way I haven't yet found. I appreciate all the effort you've put into your website
and podcasts. It is so needed by so many and you have met and continue to meet a very crucial need for many people, I know. Thanks
so much for all you do. -- Travis W.
Dear A.J. Mahari, I just want to thank you for your videos and articles about BPD. My husband recently left me and our young daughter
unexpectedly and without warning after 4 years of marriage. I just cannot thank you enough for the insight you gave me into this disorder.
So many things about my husband had hurt and perplexed me until I found your websites. Then I found peace because it all made sense.
Your insightful information about BPD for us non borderlines made it make sense for me. I can't thank you enough for helping me to
come to much more understanding. An understanding I know is what is sustaining me as I continue to heal. -- Linda M.
A.J., you are such an amazingly brilliant woman! You are an amazing life coach too. I really don't think I could have made it through
my marriage break-up - having to leave my borderline husband, if it hadn't been for your kind and patient support. I would highly
recommend your life coaching services to anyone out there dealing with someone in their life with BPD. You know BPD inside out like
no one else I've ever read, or spoken to - and that includes the professionals I had some therapy with. Thanks so much for all of your
compassion, care, and support. - Mindy Williamson
