hi emily, i can understand why that comment may have made you think twice.
what i mean is that i think the diagnosis of borderline personality, in my case, is a matter of opinion. i have seen many docs who have told me that it is not the case that i suffer from that.
so when i say it is her job to tell me there is nothing wrong with me, what i mean is that i feel she is being paid to tell me i am ok and may have some things to work on but that i am ok. i think telling someone they are borderline is far from encouraging in any way and says something quite different from "youre ok." thats just how i see it.
what i am saying is that if some people who have treated me do not think i am borderline but my therapist does, then perhaps that says something about how she views me which is not helpful.
