I'm sorry if this breaks the rules, please let me know if it does, but like...I don't know where else to post this.  
  
I was diagnosed BPD while I was in a mental hospital, and the resident came up with this diagnosis within 40 minutes of speaking to him, and since then, the BPD diagnosis has been sent to my out-of-hospital psychiatrist and the rest of my treatment team. And like, I disagree with it entirely.  
  
I have no fear of abandonment and I do not idealize or devalue people. Prior to this, I was always diagnosed along psychotic disorder spectrums (Bipolar I with Psychotic Features or Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Type). I feel like the entire reason why I was diagnosed with this was because they had no idea how to diagnose me and were entirely unwilling to listen to me (because I was aware of my hallucinations). I don't mean any offense, but I don't want this diagnosis simply because the treatment doesn't work for me. Talk therapy and DBT doesn't get rid of my hallucinations and they're hesitant to give me what *does* help me (antipsychotic medications).  
  
What can I do?
