I wonder why, why, why in the earth, psychiatrists are so reluctant to give a diagnosis on bpd when the patience is asking for clarification?
If a client asks it is because it’s better for them to know and be sure.

“ I don’t think you have bpd” They used to say. I don’t think this statement is clear or scientific to be honest.
I was in your same position. You seems to be doing a good work with mindfulness and following your therapy.

I was in the same place as you. I ask my psychiatrist for a deeper diagnoses. I didn’t point him about bpd specifically but I needed to give him all the details so he could make a more accurate picture about me.
He asked me to give him a diagram with the new information and so I did.
He told me that I made a good work.
Next time, he didn’t mentioned anything about it. Next month, when I visit him again, it will be me again the one who raise the topic again.

It’s not that I want a bpd diagnosis is about them being the experts and the patients having the right to have an accurate diagnosis. We aren’t kids to be treat as such.
