bobmonkhouse Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi All,Please can those who have been diagnosed with BPD help me at all, by telling me how they managed to get a diagnosis.My partner and I both believe she has BPD, but her G.P. has fobbed her off with pretty-useless telephone counselling, which is not helping at all.Any help gratefully received.

Lapwing Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi there,Sorry the GP hasn't been much help - sounds like you need to go back and ask for more help. Perhaps keeping a diary of symptoms and behaviour might be helpful?My own experience is that a diagnosis is less helpful than getting the help you/your partner need. For me, these days, I focus on getting the help for the symptoms I'm suffering (although I have a diagnosis which makes sense to me, it must be said). A diagnosis generally comes from a psychiatrist.Sorry if that's not much helpx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addy2 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I tend to agree with you lapwing a diagnosis isn't always helpful I feel I was actually treated worse because I have a label of bpd not everyone is understanding. A psychiatrist is the only one who I think can diagnose bpd but its not always a good thing as lapwing said if someone can help with the symptoms that's much better x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
