Poll of the Day > I no longer think that I have BPD

(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone gave me some insight, just their own view, that some people(not all) are indulging themselves with the idea that they suffer from certain psychological conditions or disorders that end up being fatalistic and excusing destructive or harmful behaviors

I think I was on that path and I dont think it would have led anywhere good. I dunno its just what I think right now but Im gonna keep talking to my therapist about it

That is the best course of action. Self diagnosis is a no-no.

true Im lucky that mine seems very professional and hasnt indulged what I personally think without trying to actually understand me

i think some therapists would just be like okay you have BPD lol

I thought you said you were formally diagnosed when we were asking about it in the discord?

my psychiatrist is the one that told me about BPD originally and really seemed convinced that I had it. Im getting the feeling he isnt great at his job but no he didnt formally diagnose me. Things I said that suggested otherwise are part of the patterns that I am trying to break.

Oh okay. Well I hope you can find a provider you feel confident in so you can get your mental health in a better place.
