Thanks Azul and good for you for not taking the labels too literally.

Certainly you shouldn't take it seriously if someone in an online forum tries to diagnose you!

But, even if a so-called "professional" diagnoses you with something, you are always entitled to a second opinion. And psychiatrists are not gods, they can and do get diagnoses completely wrong.

The deeper issue is whether diagnoses like BPD have a strong underlying reliability (and thus validity), which to me they clearly don't.
