'You are clearly having a hard time with yourself and Im sorry youre having to go through all of that.
The one piece of advice I can give is that you need to continue to challenge yourself to focus on what is acceptable
stop obsessing about what the internet says about whatever it is you think you have. Thats a complete waste of energy'
This is directly from an email I just received a few minutes ago from my therapist. I get the impression he feels like I am just trying to FIND THINGS that are wrong with me...I emailed him back and told him that I am having a hard time, that I wasnt just trying to find something to be wrong with me on the internet, that BPD is what is wrong with me. I told him that he was the one that diagnosed me with everything and I didnt understand how he could just let the label go. To me, and this is wrong I know...but to me the labels are what makes me me. And this however bad it may be, is something that I have to deal with...but he seems to be pretending that it isnt that big of an issue. He deals with the symtoms...not the label. That is what he told me.
