Today I asked my therapist some questions about labelling. Because some mental health issues have such a stigma still I really wanted to be sure of things. She doesn't like 'labelling' she said because each and every human beings have different traits in their personality. I said I felt I needed to have something as depression and other MH issues can't be 'seen'. I was diagnosed with borderline personality and ptsd and dissociative amnesia by a psychiatrist 2 years ago ...... but i was only in the room an hour with him, he really didn't know me. My T says complex PTSD would be more apt along with the others, but having said that I show signs of other things too ... I wondered if anyone else had had the same kind of discussion with their therapists and if you believe in labels? I'm not sure why she doesn't like to give a label really, I don't understand that, to me it makes my illness valid .... I'm not making myself very clear I don't think,  I hope this makes some kind of sense .... Ophelia
