I recently started therapy and expressed to my amazing therapist that I think I may have BPD and I would like to look further into it along with my other mental health problems. She sent a list of tests and surveys for my other problems but not BPD. She emailed me saying how she had trouble finding it. 

In her words “My search for personality disorder screenings has caused hot debate at our office (not bad, just interesting/complicated/professionals have strong opinions on personality disorders). I'm not super happy with the surveys that I have found. If it's alright with you, we can discuss more today and then I'll send the second round of surveys over after our session? (to be taken with a grain of salt)” 

At our session she discussed with me if I’m sure if I want to pursue getting diagnosed because it’s used against people sometimes, especially with bpd and the negative cognition with it. Just made me pretty sad but I’ll continue trying to get my diagnosis and keep you all updated. Just to clarify my therapist is very helpful and supportive but it’s upsetting that she has to take these measures with bpd. If anyone has gotten diagnosed I’d appreciate hearing your experience.
