> Is your therapist likely to startle you by thinking you're far better off than you think you are? Or by thinking you're far more troubled than you think you are?
Both actually. At first he didn't seem to think there was a whole lot wrong aside from the obvious OCD and the panic attacks, and major depression. Then we started talking. At one point he called me highly emotionally unstable and thought I needed some extra therapy, which I refused. He now thinks I'm Borderline. I know I am, I knew that before he diagnosed me. Now he knows I'm more troubled than he first thought. Put me on Geodon for some paranoia I was experiencing due to the BPD (according to him). Sometimes I think I am less troubled than he thinks, and other times it's the other way around. I just want to get better.
