I have Schiziod Personality Disorder and they diagnosed me with Borderline Personality Disorder. Then, they continued to traumatize me because I displayed Schiziod Personality traits. Just because I am introverted and have poor social skills, does not justify clear emotional and mental abuse. Then, they stated that I had better learn how to express myself better when they provided neglectful care to me. Then, when I started displaying PTSD symptoms from their abuse, they stated that I had anger problems. This is stupid because if you were to ask anyone, I never get angry. I am pretty much always mellow and do not like to be around drama. Then, they stated my anxiety attacks were anger outbursts. When I told them that I was feeling extremely anxious, they ignored my statement. Why do mental health workers have a grandious sense of self? Why do they assume that they can behave however they would like to and ignore federal and state laws? That is why laws exist; so society can run smoothly. Oh, I have disabling anxiety. I figured I should put that here. I even have difficulty leaving my home.

I have not even been able to tell my best friend about it because she is not speaking to me. It's a long story, but it has to do with the fact that I lied to her through omission. So some people that I am closest to and need support from right now are not able to do that. And it kills inside. I often wonder how she would treat me if she knew.

I do not even think a lot of people even know what BPD is. I know I didn't until recently when I was diagnosed. At least there are people on here that can relate. And we are all here to help each other.

Not telling a BF that you had (Hypothetically) that you had a sexually transmitted desease would be lying by ommision (That would affect him directly)........I'm sure your friend will likely act in a manner becoming your friendship.....If she does not, then there will be those of us, who will do our absolute best to step up and fill her place as best we can......

He was so mean, he kept questioning everything i was telling him, it was like he wanted me to trip up, in the end, i said i dont like you, and said f* it, il go home, knowing that if i went home i would do something to end my life, but for some reason he put me through to the ward, and i was put there for three weeks, i hate that man, he is rubbish at his job. i understand some people may put it on, and just want attention, but he made me feel even lousier than i already did. i was so angry i didnt give a s* if i lived or died, i didnt care if they accepted me or not, i was trying to do the right thing by asking for help, and he made me feel crap about it!!!!!anyway, there not all bad, some are ok, like my care co ordingator, shes great, though shes always off!, if its not her being ill shes away on holiday, though this time her mums just died f cancer, so she has a very valid reason, but i cant help feeling a little bit angry at her for leaving me, i know thats a terrible thing.I wrote her a letter, hoping she will feel a bit better, just saying that just because her body has gone, doesnt mean her prescence is gone.ill give it to her when she comes back. I also had a really good psychiatrist, i was really lucky, he was really good, and i have to be honest i dont usually get on with men, but he was really good at his job. Also my psychotherapist susan, was amazing, she was so lovely, i was sad when i had to leave her, because i moved from london where i was at university, back home to manchester. i have been very lucky with the people i have had for support. Though there have been some people ive encounterd who are shit at their job and you can tell there just there because there getting paid for it. anyway less babble. hugs to all.xxx give me the rope and let me tie my own path
