It doesn't really worry me anymore. I just refuse to work with clinicians who can't get past my diagnosis to me.
The ironic thing about it all is that for the last couple of years I have been told that I don't have BPD, I have DID but nobody (in NZ) is willing to risk their reputation on making that diagnosis, so my diagnosis remains unchanged.
That is small comfort to me really as 70-80% of people with DID meet BPD criteria anyway. And then there is the point that the typical attitude towards DID is much worse than the typical attitude towards BPD...
(Now you could really have some fun with that one Fires)
It just gets to me that someone posting on a mental health board (presumably with issues of their own) can be so judgemental.
But such is life, I suppose.
Some people do things like that to try and feel better about themselves...
