i hate how they say "personality disorder" like it's a swearword. lots of people with PD are truly, truly amazing people. (sorry for the sidetrack. but it's not something to be ashamed of. it didn't sound like YOU think it is, but like your crisis team do! )
i agree with the above replies about how you can still be a mental health nurse, and that once your symptoms are managed/treated, actually your experiences can help you become a much better nurse than people who haven't had experiences of mental health problems.
i hope that, whether you do get diagnosed with PD or not (which shouldn't really be the issue to your care team) that you get the support you need and things start to feel better eventually. xxx
