I felt somewhat ashamed that I wanted to go, after this talk.
He gave me some contacts but I haven't made any appointment yet because of this.

Lately I'm feeling worse and worse, not sure therapy is working, but it's bringing up strong emotions of hopelessness, disappointment and abandonment.

I'm much worse than I was when I started therapy, having suicidal thoughts more often than not. Depression, anxiety, anger....I don't see improvement. Relapse with SH, ED issues.

In a way I want to see a psychiatrist because I need validation for how I feel. That I'm not making it up. Also I need more help.
Don't know if I should just find another T and that would solve it...I'm so confused.

But also very self destructive and I think I'd need help.

Even though there is this thought in my head saying that I should solve everything by myself.
Maybe I could.

I don't want to end up taking medication though on the long term. I don't know if I need it. But right now I'm self medicating with alcohol and what not and that's bad.

Also still thinking that I am not in such a bad state to see a psychiatrist. That I don't have some serious mental illness...well except BPD

Idk what to do...I guess I'm trying to get some clarity by writing down my thoughts.
Your therapist doesn't sound like a good one.
A good therapist wouldn't dismiss something you want to do right away. The least the T could do is question your decision.
As for BPD, while the personality disorder cannot be treated with medications, its moods which come along with it can be treated with medications. However I am not a professional so it's best to consult a mental health professional, though it doesn't seem your current therapist is very professional about this.
Thanks for this!
