> I was told that I had BPD because I cut and have an eating disorder. I hate the diagnosis. Once it's your charts you are seen as being manupulative etc. I did do a one year long DBT and it help with my depression but I was still cutting at the end of it. I really hate the diagnosis. But I really enjoyed DBT and found it helpful for other things. If you have the chance to take it then do. Other that than, I don't know what to say. I am sorry that you feel the way you do.
Hi Maxime:
Thanks very much for your kind words. Both BordPD and PTSD seem to be Dx's many doctors just seem to act completely stunned by. This is really, really sad, because many docs just seem to give up! I guess I am honestly a very, very lucky guy, because my doctor has kept the faith, and been quite something else in my 12 or so years with him.(I was treated by some very horrible docs and pdocs, previous to hooking up with him.) No matter what Dx, we both searched (and continue to) very, very far and wide for some kind of treatment. I think all mental health conditions change quite a bit as you age. This requires a change in medication, approach, etc. Just IMHO..etc. Take good care...
