Hey Carper, thanks for the post!
Yeah I was rather shocked when he starting going on about having a 'personality disorder'. I really couldn't believe it. I was only trying to get him to refer me for some CBT! I let him go on about for it bit, but then I got annoyed and tried to get him to tell me how I had a 'personality disorder'. Well anyway I described how I had suffered from sereve depression and he quickly agreed that that was more than a personality disorder. And one thing I can't believe that he even said it, as its not even a reconised medical condition! (I mean in the terms her was referring to, and not THE borderline personality disorder). How on earth he could say that after a 5 min chat. I don't know.
I'm just glad I managed to stick up for myself!
Oh dear.
Meri
