So after that I didnt mention it or even reference any symptoms I just talked and they diagnosed me a few weeks later.


What she did was so painful

That is so terrible, i'm sorry you had to go through that. I was completely invalidated originally too, they told me i would be manipulative and horrible to deal with, and this was in an outpatient setting. So i just kind of forgot about it and then the psychiatrist when i was in the hospital brought it up. I felt so completely relieved to know that how i felt about myself was not totally wrong.
