so i’ve suspected for years now that i have bpd. i had trauma when i was younger and i fit all the diagnostic criteria. the first two therapists i brought it up to completely brushed me off. one even told me a story about a friend who thought he had cancer cause of web md and how “you can’t believe everything on the internet”. my current therapist has been more supportive but still is very hesitant to diagnose me. she says that i could very well have it, and that it would make sense, but it also might not be bpd and she doesn’t want to misdiagnose me. she even said we could use the same therapy strategies they use with people with bpd and see if they work for me. i have quite a few other disorders so maybe they are just mimicking bpd symptoms but i’m just kind of frustrated. it seems like my therapist will recognize that i fit the criteria but doesn’t want to diagnose me because of the stigma and all that which i understand. has anyone else experienced this? i’m kind of at a loss and just want to know what’s going on inside my head
