My therapist has informed me that this is my coping mechanism. Luckily, it could have been worse. Some of the most common coping mechanisms in BPD are alcoholism or some kind of similar substance abuse. I guess I was lucky in that regard or maybe I intuited it and intentionally avoided. I know how often I felt like getting dead drunk and I resisted the urge to.
Not a whole lot of space. I use basically two large cupboards worth of space. Books are basically my escape from my life.
That’s enough to fill a thousand books?
Well, here are my shelves:

Yeah. Books don’t take a lot of space
Edit: Sorry, two cupboards form roughly half the collection. Rest are in another room, in ‘semi-storage’.
