Not sure this belongs here, but it seemed most logical -- move if needed.
Wednesday I got copies of the reports from the hospitals I was in for my aplastic anemia over the winter. I was lucid enough, just barely, when I got to the first one to tell the dr. my mental health dx's, recurrent major depression and PTSD.
Well! Turns out he also listed me as "anxiety disorder NOS" (I've never been told anything except that anxiety comes with depression -- never had an official dx of it) and borderline.
The borderline -- and nobody who knows me, including every mental health professional I've ever seen, thinks I have a personality disorder -- comes along with the self-injury, I'm told. But how fair is that?! SI is the only symptom of borderline I have, and yet I'm lumped in there.
I know labels don't mean much, but it just kind of annoyed me that this guy (a blood disease dr.!) took it upon himself to change my dx! And now every time my records get sent somewhere, it's going to be in there. ARGH.
