@johnbishop @lisalucier Thank you guys. The article on BPD is very interesting and as usual I recognize myself in it 100%. To be honest, I didn't even look it up after I was diagnosed. It took a while but once I did I slowly got a little understanding on things. It's the sometimes relapses of symptoms that can be tough and if that happens I end up feeling terrible and guilty that it's after happening because of all the work I've been putting in with my mental health team.

Just a quick question? I was just wondering has anyone with this diagnoses ever got a really bad Psychiatrist who wasn't understanding? My one was away on holidays not long ago and I had a temporary one in her place for two sessions. I have to say that I walked out of that office absolutely livid with anger. I know that some professionals don't even see this kind of diagnoses as an illness and this person actually called me dramatic, adding that I have one of my "episodes" and everyone follows me around with a prescription. I was flabbergasted to be honest. I admit that when I'm bad I can be dramatic but I felt two feet small when the prescription comment was made. I guess some people just don't understand that having BPD can be so tough. Thank God I never saw that person again and I've let my resentment go.

@lisalucier Thank you again. I look forward to @oprah and @parus joining the thread. Have a good morning,

Ed
