This is not an issue with EVERY therapist or psychiatrist I’ve seen, but it is making it hard for me to feel accepted, or even get into a DBT group near me. A social worker I was told to consult with told me it wouldn’t be good for me to join the DBT group I was interested in because I might be too careless, rude, and argumentative...even though I’ve clarified this is not a serious issue I have  ever had in group therapy, so that assumption is not based on what I’ve actually done, it’s purely based on hearing about what I’m struggling with, which honestly makes me regret telling the truth about my symptoms. I feel like this is ridiculous and I was VERY angry/sad after it happened. Luckily my therapist said I didn’t have to consult with this social worker anymore and has been more understanding. FYI I have no written diagnosis yet, it’s just been confirmed by my therapist recently, however I suspected I had it for a long time. Now I regret all of this, telling the truth about everything...I wish no one in my life knew.

Maybe I’m overreacting because it’s not like some judgemental people will ruin my entire life, but at this point I know that it’s very unhelpful because I’m quick to dropping people and rejecting support and I need to get a hold on things.

If anyone else has dealt with something like this feel free to share even if it’s not advice, at least I’ll feel less alone lol
