I have been trying to argue my BPD diagnosis since I got it, nearly four years ago. No one ever listens though. They see self harm and that's their go to diagnosis. Nevermind that I don't have any of the other traits. The pdoc who diagnosed me is the worst I have met so far, I have hated her from day one. She just knows how to wind me up. Thankfully she no longer works with my mental health team meaning I can avoid her for the most part. Occasionally I am sent to the hospital she now works at...that's always fun. My last admission she told me I should go to an inpatient PD unit for 2 years...

Luckily I got transferred to my normal hospital after a week with her. And finally found a pdoc who listened to me and could see for herself that I did not meet enough of the criteria for a BPD diagnosis. Now I'm back home it's a case of trying to get my community team to see that too. It has now been put in my care plan for a reassessment with my current pdoc to take place. Hopefully that can finally put an end to it.
