and honestly i'm really glad i never got the bpd thing ''validated'', because i think if i actually got slapped with that label it wouldn't have done me any good at all
hm honestlie psychologists should fuck around and be like haha no ur ok normal dw : )
placebo amirite
no in seriousness they prob shouldnt but who knows, im guessing some ppl wouldnt be so fucked if they it hadnt been confirmed they are indeed fucked (eg me)
they definitely do tell people they're normal though, you don't have to be mentally ill to benefit from therapy
but yeah, i've been through the whole ordeal of accepting a misdiagnosis and it really sucks. i worked hard to start seeing myself in that light because i thought it would be important to my recovery and stuff, but in hindsight it was just blatantly wrong!
so i guess what i'm saying is, if i'd been diagnosed with bpd (which i don't have) i would have compared the symptoms to how i behave and my own personality traits and just accepted that i'm going to be like that forever because it's part of my illness. i probably wouldn't have excused my own bad behavior but i'd definitely feel powerless to stop being that way.
yeah misdiagnosing is really tricky and.. just doesn't do any good lol
