Prior to my latest admission I had been diagnosed with a dissociative disorder - and accompanying De-whatever-disorders as well as my eating disorder, which is just obvious. But now, I've come out of hospital and on my discharge sheet I have an additional diagnosis of EUPD.

Which from looking it up I am to understand is the new name for Borderline PD.

And I can't come to terms with it. Granted it's been about a day or two since I realised, but I know there are a lot of people on here with BPD/EUPD so thought that there might be some advice on how to come to terms with this diagnosis.

I'm just worried it will make getting treatment even harder than it is already, I think i'm on the waiting list for schema therapy, but so far no-one really knows, and last time that happened my funding got declined and no-one told us for a good while: so at the minute my faith in that is low.

As well, I know a lot of people don't like to get this diagnosis, and I'm one of them. I'm really unhappy about it, but feel I don't have a ground to stand on because when I read through the diagnostic criteria for ICD-10 EUPD, I fit most of it: which is upsetting to read that your personality is that screwed up and faulty... does anyone else feel like this?

Just some advice would be great... I'm going to ask when I have my discharge follow up with my CMHT sometime within the week for them to explain it to me.

Thanks honey-bees. x
