I hope I haven't offended anyone here. I know there is nothing wrong with or to be ashamed of for having a personality disorder, it's just that that I was confused as to how someone came up with that diagnosis for me, and why I wasn't even told.

In my country CBT and SFBT (solution focused brief therapy which is even more bleh than CBT) is also pushed heavily and other therapys often are only found in secondary or tertiary services.
I've a friend in a rural part of the UK and she and others have shared quite a lot about the funding cuts to the NHS and the poor, woefully inadequate services.
There's a lack of funding for treatments formulated to treat chronic Axis 1 issues like recurrent, chronic depression and anxiety.
No, I know you weren't being disparaging of folks with personality disorders.
They shouldn't have slapped such a diagnosis without extensive, thorough and detailed assessment. And not telling you is so incredibly unprofessional.
