I've recently been diagnosed with BPD (I have suspected it for a long time) and now I'm so angry and disappointed with the mental health 'support' I've had over the years. I was angry about it before but even more so, now I know it's really true.

I was told over and over again that I couldn't speak to an NHS psychologist or psychiatrist to get a diagnosis. So I had been diagnosed with depression and anxiety by my GP. Because of this, for a decade I have been taking multiple different prescribed medications and attended multiple therapies that are ineffective for the treatment of BPD. 

As the title says, this is a perfect example of how the mental health system in the UK is failing us.
