An update: I'll post it here rather than the check in thread-
I have been seeing a new therapist since early October this year. I let her know of past opinions, even though I questioned if I should. she mentioned that she understood why I was telling her but that personally she didn't like to go off of other's opinions due to - she was blunt with me- it's an opinion on what that professional sees & interrupts during the encounter with a patient at the time.
This t unfortunately has met me during a little bit of a depression phase, and a lot of "PTSD " can come up for me at these times.
At any rate, this t, while we haven't seen each other a full year, and I still need to ask some questions too and provide info. but her opinion is- may have seasonal affective disorder, but she sees Complex Ptsd with Dysthymia depression .. she disagrees that I have BPD(borderline) traits and she herself questions why bipolar was labeled on me... but this all could change, as I type this I have a thought of this being a tactic, but perhaps it not... I realized the other day we haven't talked on any elated moods I've had, because we just havent ...and I've been trying to get by a bit and having at least since fair days lately.
Though
I saw my primary care doctor today, she has seen me for a year, and shementioned that I should see another psychiatrist for a diagnosis; even though she values my therapist's opinion and is happy I found someone I can talk with for right now.
So I don't know, I just know I agreed to send a referral and see how it goes
