I was diagnosed by my former psychiatrist last year and it was such a relief. I have quite BPD so my previous therapist never suspected I had it and when I told her I thought I did she shut me down saying “no I don’t see that in you, borderlines blame everyone around them and are manipulative” Well I just got out of my 3rd session with my new therapist and she pretty much told me the same exact thing but added in “borderlines often don’t seek help and don’t think anything is wrong with them” aren’t these just stereotypes?? People with BPD can be self aware right?? She assumes I just have depression and social anxiety which honestly makes me feel extremely invalided. Have these professionals never heard of the different sub types of BPD? We don’t all act the same. We don’t all outwardly blame the people around us (how would she even know if I do or don’t from 3 hour long sessions) This isn’t something I plan to stop seeing her over because I actually really like her but it did hurt my feelings. Now I feel like I have to “prove” I’m borderline to her when I have an actual diagnosis of it. Am I overreacting?
