I was originally diagnosed as Bi-Polar. Which in my mind really didn't fit the bill at first. Then I was told I had Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Severe Depression. Next I was told that I had Bi-Polar Type 2 with GAD. And in my last pysch evail I was dx'd with both of the latter and mild PTSD.

Last year someone I talked to in an online support room was talking about how her daughter was dx'd with Borderline Personality Disorder, so I was asking what that was. She started naming off characteristics from a book she had been given the recommendation to read so she could understand better what her daughter was going through, and it seemed that 75% of the list fit me. So I went out and got the book. "I Love You, Don't Hate Me" (I don't have the author's name at the moment) But for those familiar with BPD they should be very aware of this book.

For the first time in my life, while reading the pages of that book, everything became clear to me. The past 28 years had been explained to a T. Yet now that I have sought therapy again, NO one has been willing to even acknowledge the fact that I have even spoken the words "borderline personality disorder". They just act like they didn't hear it and go on with their ramblings. What is up with that??? I had read another book called "Lost in the mirror" and the author of it stated that alot of therapists didn't want to tell patients this was a possible diagnosis of their problems.

I feel if I could find someone to work on this specific issue with me, I could actually get somewhere with my life. I have tried therapy dealing with stress, depression, etc. It gets no where. I feel maybe this is why.

Is anyone familiar with this at all? Any advice? Support?

Thanks!
