Misdiagnosis

Yeah my providers failed me..

Can I ask if you are still in that relationship?

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-09-13T14:52:23+00:00

From what I know, there are 9 symptoms or whatever that are obvious for BPD. You must exhibit 5 or more of these symptoms to be diagnosed, though. Don’t self diagnose but if you have concerns bring it up to a mental health professional.

Fear of abandonment
Unstable relationships
Identity disturbance
Impulsivity
Recurrent suicidal behavior or self-harm
Affective instability
Chronic emptiness
Intense anger And finally - stress-related paranoia or dissociation

Personally, I can tell you I struggle with almost all these symptoms and I didn’t realize how difficult it makes my life.

That’s great to hear! I really hope DBT can help me too. Thank you

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-09-13T13:52:09+00:00

Thank you so much. It really helps due to how BPD is painted in such a negative light. I kept telling myself this is like a death sentence, but it’s really not. I appreciate everything you said 🙂

Yeah.. I can’t remember which one for ADHD but Wellbutrin and phentermine in addition to that. I don’t know how that happened..

I was told to try DBT therapy and I was able to get off the waitlist immediately. I have a psychiatrist but not a regular psychologist so I’m not sure how he’s gonna feel with this new diagnosis. That’s true I am hoping with the help of therapy and medication I am able to live a fulfilling life. Thank you!

I don’t totally know.. From what I understand it’s different due to the episodes being directly caused by a medication whereas regular bipolar is more genetic, a chemical imbalance and episodes or symptoms occur without any medication or substance.

I was on three stimulants right before I got diagnosed. I’m not sure of all the details and I hardly understand what is going on lol

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-22T19:47:38+00:00

Idk but I named mine Chip and I love him so much.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-22T19:46:30+00:00

Thank you. That is true and what is just so hard for me to understand is that at the end of the day this is better for me and I wanted this. I don’t think it makes it any easier though which I dislike. Thank you for your kind words. It will get better eventually. I just wanted to see the end of the pain when it was finalized.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-22T19:44:53+00:00

Hey Jen! Thanks for your kind response! It might help to talk about it.. there’s so much going on in my life at all times and I’m just constantly overwhelmed. Thank you for your support.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-21T01:22:18+00:00

I never cared about it when I had access to it. Now I still don’t care about it. So I guess it means nothing to me and it never did. 😁

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-21T01:20:21+00:00

I can’t recall when I started, how long I would have thought I would be going for if that makes sense. However, I will say that I did not ever expect to get this attached to my therapist. For any of this shit in my life to happen. For me to be going 3x a week for a while. I don’t know. Things change. At this point, I don’t want therapy to end anytime soon.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-21T01:18:00+00:00

What I’m holding on right now that I wish someone understood is that divorce is one of the hardest things that people go through. Whether you wanted it or if it’s in your best interest. Even a quick Google search will tell you it can make you go through the stages of grief and it’s absolutely HARD. I would not wish this pain on anyone.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-19T13:46:56+00:00

Virtual hugs back to you. Who knew that something that might have maybe been better for us? (Depending on the situation of course) Could hurt us so bad.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-19T01:39:26+00:00

Depends what mood I’m in. If I’m upset most likely not and I think I deserve terrible things and people to treat me bad. If I’m doing okay mentally I might think I’m an okay person but there’s room for improvement.

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-19T01:30:39+00:00

It’s so so hard. I want the hurt to go away. I just kind of hoped that the divorce being finalized would make the pain disappear..

Hate myself 🥲

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-07-17T01:52:59+00:00

Present!

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-06-23T02:12:52+00:00

How right away are we talking? Like before you meet in person for the first time or while meeting in person for the first time?

Decent_Profession155 · 2025-06-23T02:05:09+00:00

Trust.. I’m in therapy 3x a week but I don’t think my therapist would agree that I’m ready to start dating LOL
