I can agree. I first heard BPD when I was in a depression and decided to get a t that would help me with the moving forward part of my trauma recovery and not see me for my past. In my initial interview i was asked if i had ever been dx with it because she saw traits in me and had been burned out from working inpatient with borderlines. Right then and there it put a fear in me that all t dont work with bpd and therefore i was determined not to ever be dx with it. A month later i was given a psychological for voc rehab and the phd that tested me dx me bpd. I totally freaked. Now a new pdoc that had never known me and just saw me has also dx me bpd. i started reading about it and i agree. What confirmed it was i just read some books from the pt and family point opf view. "Sirens Dance", "Girl Interrupted", and "Cut". I feel so much like those people although I did not totally fall into girl interrupted. In sirens dance the doc said emotional disregulation personality disorder and i can agree with that lable.
