Outside of a diagnosis

A question and a rant



I have “stolen” these words from someone else. I think this myself...

“we are not our diagnosis” has been said many times and I agree.

I have read that bipolar and “borderline” often co exists.

What is the difference between “borderline” and CPTSD from trauma?

“Stolen” words ... from a reply to someone who said they didn’t know how to “cope” aside from overwhelm..

“Outside of a diagnosis, we are human beings and emotional beings”

I am not wrong to feel hurt, betrayed and angry when a relative or other mistreats me and uses cruel words. (I am not a robot with no feelings)

They wanted to put me in a “diagnostic” box irl and gave the minimum “care” which is not care at all..

Emotions are not “wrong’` .. I consulted a doctor who said something horrible (about something non mh...) I am not ‘`wrong” to be appalled and disgusted by their lack of care and competence. Maybe it’s “natural” to want to avoid them as they slap on labels and paint worst case scenarios... and Grrrrrrrrr

I am not wrong to feel betrayed and hurt and angry... and suspicious and untrusting of these people who are supposed to ‘`serve” us but instead sit in judgment and are nowhere near respectful or careful with their words (often for no reason aside from their own issues and lack of adequate time ...).
