I (36 male) was diagnosed with BPD only two weeks ago. I was on Citalopram (still am) and Wellbutrin, but my new doctor diagnosed me with BPD and took me off the Wellbutrin and has prescribed me with Lithium. He did this after a lengthy visit, the only visit so far with him.

Thing is I've been seeing a therapist for 9 months now. She has two degrees; one in Psychology and the other in Social Work. She's been doing this for 20 years she says  She has been helping me tremendously, but it really bothers me she didn't see a glimpse of this disorder. Hell, I even suggested it at one point but it was dismissed.

The very next session I told her what the doctor had said and she became very nervous. She was almost defensive even.

Am I worrying too much? Ever since I was diagnosed with MDD 10 months ago my paranoia has only worsened. 

I am not going to just accept whatever is said here. I just want to see some opinions. That doesn't mean I do not appreciate what you have to offer.
