Coping With A New Diagnosis - What Was Your Reaction To Yours?

Oi, this is be cooking my head.

I'll always keep trying, it's just who I am. Sometimes I think having a diagnosis is a double edged sword.

You have many good qualities so don't underestimate them Bubzilla.

The diagnosis is a double edged sword. My psychriatrist doesn't like diagnosis because it can be a negative thing for people. BPD is not a good one - as it is mainly put on strong women or people who are annoying to the medical profession.

If you are BPD then most of us probably are as well. I know it is easier said than done but you have a lot of successes to focus on at the moment *points* so get to celebrating! STAT!

Seriously you are who you are and we are all growing and changing all the time - you will outgrow this diagnosis and the reaction to it as time goes on.

Can I like Ms Spock's post above x 100?

Completely agree with you, Ms S!

 

[ms spock]

It is only logical Hashi!

[Abstract]

Yes, you are most certainly correct!

I am glad you find it validating and helpful Bub! I think that is a helpful mindset in this situation. It also sounds like you have a good relationship with your psychiatrist and trust him and that is very helpful too.

I strongly believe that we are all individual and that what is unhelpful for one can be helpful for someone else. And I support you in your positive approach to this.

Ms Spock you make me laugh sometimes! :laugh:

*arches eyebrow at Abstract*

That too, is logical Abstract.

Let us face it Bubzilla, you rock in many ways. Now you have more information and choose to make goals and work towards them you will rock in other ways as well.

I told my psych about my new job today, and the role I'm performing.......my manager told me today that she basically needs me to co-manage the facility with her.

you will outgrow this diagnosis

Never been a point of concern for either myself or my psych. :sneaky::p

And I support you in your positive approach to this.

Thanks you :)
