> I understand what u are saying but i am to the point where nothing is working and i want to see what these professionals have observed about me.
Sure. Only you will know the best decision for you. I just wanted to make sure that I threw out some ideas to think about.
Yes, it cld. be harmful but it cld. also be helpful. The best T i had worked w/ me using CBT but she quit and i have no ins. so i have to take what i can get.
I'm sorry. That is a completely unfair situation.
Question, how cld. a doc dx u and have it in ur file w/o u knowing about it? Is this common?
I think it happens. Different professionals treat the issue differently. Some docs don't tell the patient the label, but will discuss the key features of the disorder. For example, sometimes they worry that telling a patient that they have "borderline personality disorder" will be upsetting and judegmental. But, on the other hand, some docs feel that putting a name to what a person struggles with can be freeing. Different schools of thought, I guess.
Best,
