This is twisted, for me, to express...Let me start, I found out, my dx, on a summary sheet, last year?? Must have been, I started back with my pdoc, in oct '12. After a few months off. So, late last year, early this year, I get my summary report, with my dx on it.

I expressed, to myself, that's it?! That's all?! Because, people around me, or perhaps listening to my ex, and his relatives, too much, and having had an exhaustion moment several years ago...seriously...

That's it?! I was thinking, due to my past SI/SH/SA, I was sure to have BPD. And, then I went in, asking about bi-polar, because some of the arguments with my ex were rather, well argumentative, and his family, some were, well, she must be, or it must be ptsd or god knows what else...especially after knowing my mom was calling my neuro and telling him stories(and wanted my dad to have a hospital lined up for me--I was dxed with MS, suffering from fatigue, maybe a bit of post-partum stuff, it wasn't cool, how I've been treated like I've got a severe illness. When, it's anxiety and depression. just anxiety and depression, from an ivy league school grad...

life, since knowing my dx....validating of my reality.
