One psychiatrist a couple of years ago tried to throw the borderline label in our first meeting and I truly believe it was simply because I was a woman who was suicidal and had a history of self injury. How else could he even touch on that dx without knowing any of my personal history? I specifically said I was there because I had bipolar and was in a depressive episode and my previous doctor was no longer taking my insurance. So sometimes I think labels just get thrown around out of prejudice.
