I’ve had a strange journey with mental health professionals; saw many, several possible diagnoses tossed around and doubted by them and by me. It wasn’t an overall good experience and I stopped seeing anyone. Forget helping professionals— I helped myself! Generally, I didn’t get a sense from any of them that they were necessarily thinking of me poorly and unfairly. Some of them made comments that sent me reeling and I didn’t want to talk to them again— ( that’s therapy?). There were some videos about BPD on the internet that were incredibly condemning and hurtful to anyone with BPD— Don’t watch them!
