When I was diagnosed I was relieved, scared, and embarrassed. I know the stigma attached to it, like all mental illnesses and I felt hopeless because I knew it was forever.

However, I've also been diagnosed with PTSD and BPD. I have a pdoc that I've just started seeing and she won't even give me a diagnosis now and is just treating the "symptoms" which is frustrating.
I'm a nurse and have been conditioned to believe that you need a diagnosis to treat.

So now...I'm so confused I have no idea what's going on anymore
