I have Borderline Personality Disorder and have been seeing a great psychiatrist for years. However, he recently moved and I got reassigned. I met my new psychiatrist today and it was the worst experience with a doctor in my life. I have never had any really negative experiences such as this.

He said that there was no point for me coming into the office really because it wasn't helping. He said that there was no evidence that counselling or meds help "someone like me." That after all these years and trying many things, nothing has worked for me and I'm still miserable (I did not say any of this). He started grilling me with intense questions that were overwhelming in themselves to begin with. He asked me why people (doctors) said I might have PTSD, and aggressively asked me what my most traumatic experience was to make me have that. I told him I didn't feel comfortable comparing things that have been hard in my life - I was getting more and more flustered. This type of questioning kept happening, and whenever I would answer he would give me strange looks (no, I'm not misunderstanding or projecting). He asked me about how I "act borderline" and I tried to describe it and he said, "so you throw temper tantrums and you're immature." I ended up calling and asking to be switched and they said I could, but I didn't say what happened. I just wanted it to be all over. He is retiring this summer, so I don't know that it would be worth putting in a complaint at this point.

Anyone have a similar experience or have any advice? Thanks
