She would start the session and probably say something i didn't want to talk about and I would start swearing. Then I would crack it, to avoid being jabbed by my burly nurse I would call them all a bunch of w@#$ers and storm out......screaming at all the other patients. My T would poke her head out the door and yell out "see you next week!!" Ha! The patience of a saint.

She treated me for 7 years, week to week. She saved my life. But after my violent outbursts, I would ring her to see if she would still treat me. I was testing her......her allegiance to me, trust.

I hate you, don't leave me? Read this Book......explains a lot.

Good luck, it does get easier and you will have fulfilling, equal relationships. I also learn't not to care much what other people think......
Thank you for responding, Micah

I've taken lots of psychiatric tests - personality tests revealed strong borderline characteristics. I was not diagnosed with it, though the hospital did show me a video about the disorder and I completely related with the girl in it!

I'll check out the book - thanks for sharing!
