I'm still pretty annoyed about this one comment that a new therapist I just started with made yesterday.

I was talking about how looking back, a lot of the behaviours and feelings I exhibited in my early-to-mid 20s were very close to BPD symptoms, or could have been indicators.  The therapist then told me point-blank that because I still managed to continue my studies at that point, there's no way I had BPD back then.  

Uh, excuse me, lady, but were you there?  You don't know my life.   It was pretty annoying that based off like, 3 sentences that left out a mountain of detail, she decided right off the bat that I must have been fine back then.  Suuuuuure.... /s.

Anyone else have therapists/counsellors say random dumb stuff that's gotten under your skin?

(P.S. the therapist is only one of like 6 staff members I can talk to, so I'll see how she is going forward, but I know I can talk to someone else if I feel we don't work well together).

Edit: Wow, reading you guys' experiences with incompetent, infuriating, or just plain dangerous therapists has been really eye-opening.  I hope you all have better therapists now, and that you're getting your needs met and heard. &lt;3
