Hello. I'm T and I have BPD. Then what?
The last t said I wouldn't have been happy with anyone. Why do that say such things? Especially to someone with BPD who ruminates about those words and takes them to heart.
They'd tell me to use DBT skills and cope. That's what I'm doing. So, who needs them?

Not all Ts make a big deal about having BPD. Mine didn't. She hardly ever mentioned it in 7 years. She just helped me with my problems and said she doesn't believe in diagnoses. I did DBT while I was seeing my T, and sometimes she asks if I am using the skills, but she's not a DBT T. I think you can find a good T if you want to, and don't pay attention to what your former T said. That was a cruel statement!
