I find that being told I have BPD is kinda making things worse for me. Because when I am in my major depressive episode I'm often dismissed as ''Oh she is just a BPD'' So am sent on way.
My worker often says things that are not right just because some people with this label have the symtom doesn't mean I do.
Also with anorexia, that gets overlooked by SW as she see's just the BPD.
Luckily my GP is an angel and deals with what the current problem is. Whic right now is major depression and anorexia.
Telling people you have BPD often, I find, gets doors closed in front of you.
I only have 2 maybe 3 traits of BPD and that makes it really hard for everything else.
But in saying all that I'd rather know the label so I can look into it and see if there is anything I can do myself to help without having to rely so much on the (useless) workers I have.
