She said you may be able to fix one or two things-but for the most part nothing can be done. I am having a hard time with this today and I am in a definite depressive state. Thanks. SarahMarieyeah, i dont like this stretching business. bpd's also have a bunch of dx's a lot of the time. esp dissociating, eating problems, depression, and severe anxiety linked to the anger. i've noticed that some therapists want to work with borderlines just because they can claim they have something complex they are working on. others -- and this has been my experience -- wont touch a borderline with a ten foot pole. our suicide attempts are messy. thearpy with us can be a nightmare. the therapist is never right and they hate that. we call, and call, and call. (they hate that too). we walk out before a session ends (lord knows i have) or pout and refuse to go when the time is up (one therapist has had to physically pick me up to get me out). yeah, no one likes us. its ok, i dont like anyone either.
