I apologize to everyone else for taking over the thread.

No not aggressive at all! I've enjoyed talking to you. You can PM me if you want to carry on. I'm just conscious of my slow responses when reading/typing, that's all.

That is exactly what I was referring to. I don't relate to it either. This example is one of the main reasons why I never believed I had BPD. I'll leave it at that because I can go on and on and on about my misdiagnosis and all the proof I have found to clear my name.

I agree with your point about disposition.
Before I got my notes, I convinced myself that they'd labelled me BPD, because I didn't understand why they would dismiss me otherwise (not saying that's good in BPD either, but I've seen it often). I read the criteria over and over again, but just couldn't relate to most of it. And I don't relate to those kind of posts on PC either.
You can PM me about this too if you want to. I've been meaning to ask you if your status about proof was about your BPD misdiagnosis? It must feel very validating to have proof after all these years. Misdiagnosis, whether BPD or other diagnosis, or faking like I was told, is traumatic IMO because it makes you question your very being. I had all of this 'am I in denial about my faking?' stuff and I'm still not sure. T & I have decided that my diagnosis shall remain 'North is lost' (after a poem I wrote about my confusion) until I sort it out in my head & decide whether a psych diagnosis is worth obtaining/using.
