This true story of emotional abuse, friendship, drug addiction, impossible love, nymphomania, and committing one of the biggest sexual taboos chronicles the life of someone with borderline personality disorder (BPD) on a transgressive journey toward self-discovery and healing. It is a highly emotive, romantic, and provocative story that provides a solution for sufferers of the disorder that no other BPD memoirs or psychological books have discussed to date. Since the disorder is so serious that ten percent who have it die from suicide, this story literally has the potential to save lives. The novel outlines how a real person who lived their life with this disorder had, in fact, not only survived but was able to thrive. The story explains the exact kind of support such a person needs to not only live their life in a healthy way but in the most amazing way. From this perspective, the 'disorder' can simply be viewed as a personality type, which is, in fact, rare, special, and something one would want instead of something one is constantly trying to be cured of. Although most of the story is dark and very sexual, the story is also quite romantic, positive, and comedic as well, giving readers a glimpse into a different kind of life that is possible with BPD. The nine symptoms of borderline personality disorder are fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, unclear or shifting self-image, impulsive or self-destructive behaviors, self-harm, extreme emotional swings, chronic feelings of emptiness, explosive anger, feeling suspicion, or feeling out of touch with reality. Most readers will have one or more of them; thus, the story has something for everyone. But who is Kishi Kaisei? The name in kanji, 騎士海聖, translates into 'knight of the holy sea.' 'Kishi Kaisei' can also be written as the saying 起死回生, which means to die and be reborn. In his mind, that is who the author is: a knight of a holy sea where he died and was reborn. This book tells the story of how.
