Sadly, it was not. I know it wasn't aimed at me, but sometimes a little common sense could maybe override the thinking that made up psychiatry back then.

Like, when I said my anxiety prevented me from going to see my friends and that saddened me, the only answer (didn't matter what doctor or therapist), the answer was that I lacked insight, and my anxiety was proof of that. They claimed I had created my anxiety issues so I would not have to see my friends. Why? Because deep down I hated them... Yea they told me I hated my best friends and my anxiety proved it.

This was not a lone occurrence, everything I said was twisted like this. I tried to say it does not make sense. Why would not a single one just wake up and think... hey waitamin, maybe Jimi is not totally out of it, maybe Jimi has a correct analysis of their situation? But no... Never.

First do no harm. Like yea right. Get worse by getting treated. Nice job.

I do understand their thinking and I was myself a psychology student at the time. So I get it.

What is so pathetic in my case is that everything that was a popular idea was projected on me. First the psychobabble stuff. Then the BPD (it still had some new and cool aspects to it). Then for a short while bipolar was really popular and then I "had" that. I actually suspect I was suspected Asperger's (second round when it was dealt with), because it was popular. Then ADHD became popular here. Then I had that. (In what order illnesses and conditions got a lot of attention can vary between countries) So in some way (EEP), maybe I got the right diagoses finally by chance???
