She maintained that she does not see it in me (little internal happy dance as I think it's a bunk dx... I have yet to meet anyone with a bpd dx that hasn't developed it due to trauma, but that's a whole other thread)
she told me she thought I was good at my chosen profession
she said we can do a joint art project for our last session :dancingchili:
I'm really gonna miss her...
I'm sorry you're going to miss her so much!

I have had the BPD diagnosis too, mostly due to SI. I don't think I have a lot of it, but I agree with the fear of abandonment. I don't know, honestly I get paranoid every time I see a mental health person that they have BPD at the back of their minds as soon as they meet me and will use it against me. I think it comes from having it used against me young when I went inpatient or to the ER for stitches and stuff.
