Hi Dinah-Betrayed is exactly how I feel. She always tells me that I seem to hold things back from her and I am assuming she is using the test to figure me out. I have read a lot about Borderline and though I do identify with maybe 3 traits, I also identify with traits from other disorders and I don't feel as though I fit into any. Even though I don't think this is me, since she said it, it is in my head always. I worry about maybe eventually going to another doctor and as soon as they see the notes from my last appointment and they see the word "Borderline" then I again am stuck with the label.
I wanted to get a second opinion, so I went to see a psychiatrist at my college. I tried to tell him that I had been seeing someone and that I felt we were at a standstill and I wanted a different pespective on the situation. He immediately wanted to know who I was seeing. I reluctantly told him and of course it turns out they know each other, in fact "very well" as he put it. Then he wanted to know what our problem was. I told him I felt uncomfortable talking about her since they knew each other, but he told me not to worry about it. He said that if I wanted to seek treatment from him, thus releasing my records from her, that it wouldn't be taken personally. Later, I started thinking about it and the more I thought about it the weirder it seemed. I personally would never want to go see a psychiatrist who was friends with my last doctor. Does that seem right to you?
