hey all, i’m new here, and thought i’d say hello. and also write a post!
anyways, i recently had a *really* terrible therapist who said all my symptoms of bipolar and bpd could be attributed to chronic ptsd. at first, it all seemed too good to be true….the fact that there are ways of overcoming ptsd (for some people), and that maybe all these symptoms would disappear one day and i would not have to take all these meds anymore. i trusted her at the time….and it is difficult to gain my trust. that was before things got kind of crazy with her.
on the other hand, psychiatrists that i have trusted for years have said i have bipolar and bpd as well as some form of ptsd. for about 10 years, these have been my diagnoses.
when this therapist came along and told me all that was basically a lie, and that she could help me solve all these issues i’ve been having…..i got confused, yet hopeful.
for certain reasons, she is no longer my therapist, but i still question whether she was right or wrong about me.
sorry for the long message….i just honestly had to get it out….
