BPD
I don't know if posting here is the right thing to do or if anyone can say anything but it's worth a try.
I've seen a good few psychiatrists and psychologists, and my last therapy was with a psychotherapist; we did DBT. I've never been given a formal diagnosis, I mean, words have been thrown around a little, depression, bipolar, cyclothymia, but I've never been sat down and told what is wrong with me. And they've never mentioned BPD!
I'm just confused, why would they give me DBT (which they joked was the 'expensive' treatment!) if they didn't have good reason? DBT is therapy for borderline, right?
Why have I never been diagnosed with anything, is it because I'm an attention-seeking little bitch and don't actually have mental health issues, or is it because they don't know, or is it because I'm too young to diagnose (17), or is it because they didn't want me to know my diagnosis?
How can I find out if I have a diagnosis and then, if I do, what it is?

For you to be here now trillions of drifting atoms had somehow to assemble in an intricate and intriguingly obliging manner to create you. It's an arrangement so specialized and particular that it has never been tried before and will only exist this once. That is of course the miracle of life.

I used to be under CAMHS but was discharged and was referred back but I see no point in going given that I'm 18 next month. I'm seeing my doctor on Friday, could I ask him about whether I have a diagnosis?

So I went to the doctor today and chatted, we got a lot done really. I'm gunna come off my current medication over the next month so that I can try news meds after that. (He didn't want me on two at the same time because they can interact and whatnot.) And he's referring me to the surgery's counsellor which isn't exactly therapy but it's something, and I'm not complaining. I can't complain at that, can I? I said I wanted more talk therapy, and that's what I'm getting (kinda).
Can anyone tell me how counselling will differ from CBT/DBT? I've never done therapy - only ever therapy.
Hopefully this will lift me up again. Oh and after asking if I had a formal diagnosis, he said I don't because the psychs have very tight criteria to work with... Which makes me feel like I don't have an excuse for asking for help:/

They stopped telling me my diagnosis until about a year later, maybe because they described me as a complex case and were unsure- or it could be that I was getting stressed out because I was originally diagnosed with DID and treatment for that is difficult to get and I was getting stressed out about it because they were just throwing a ton of illnesses at me that are very difficult to ever recover from.
