@Dirt - when you say you have BPD, do you mean Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder?

And I’m curious - do you agree with that diagnosis? Or do you think you’re dealing with something else?

Thank goodness you did not say you are BPD! but that you

I have BPD

Big difference. You have something that you are struggling with and you are not alone, there are whole bunch of us "having" many things and we are all here listening to you.

i have been dx with borderline personalty disorder i feel that i am being stigmatised by medical professionals eg the crisis team who are meant to be helping me in a crisis they make me feel bad so bad sometimes so whats the point in being a crisis team if yur going to make people worse ?

Hi Dirt. Is there a doctor or therapist that can write a letter on your behalf, requesting gentler assistance and care because of your background? And have them put their contact info on it. I don't know if you would do that, or find it helpful at all.

I can totally get the frustration trying to get help and support with all this. Did they give a reason why they weren't going to provide therapy?

Yeah. I'm Scotland so I'm dealing with the NHS too. Can you go back to your cmht or GP and see if there's someone else you can see or some other type of therapy they can refer you to? One person not being able to help with one type of therapy doesn't make you unhelpable. But I totally get the frustration.
