So no treatment. 1095 days of utter hell. I finally got her to treat me and things got a lot better.

The psychologist who gave the presentation also stated it is very common for ladies with Asperger's Syndrome to get diagnosed with BPD. She trained and worked with Tony Attwood so she knows what she is talking about, unlike a general psychiatrist, who has limited knowledge of Asperger's Syndrome.
It
really hurts, when apparent professionals tell you, "You are just seeking attention." Grrrrrr.
Are you getting help now?

BPD has become a poor excuse for doctors who won't take the time to do a thorough assessment. It is not us.
Most cases of misdiagnosis have very serious consequences. My apparent mental illness was psychiatry induced. It felt like I was being shaped into the BPD diagnosis. They wanted me to have that disorder so bad. Now, I am traumatized.
Only one psychiatrist apologized. Why? She admitted nothing about me and my history made sense. She suspected, I had a seizure disorder and Asperger's Syndrome, when I met her in the mid 1990s, not PTSD.
I don't expect anyone else to apologize, ever.

We must fight back by telling our stories.
