    I thought I was BPD too! I asked a relationship therapist after she had known me for ~3 months, and she opposed that I was BPD. Then, I asked my psychologist friends that had known me for ~7 years if I was BPD, which they emphatically opposed as well. Apparently, we can have wild mood swings that can appear to be BPD to a clinician that is not properly trained or has some countertransference/projection issues.

    I hope it works out with the new clinician and you get a proper evaluation.

      I didn’t even know about BPD until I was given my diagnosis. It explains a lot about my relationships tho. I either worship the ground you walk on or wish you were dead and struggle to maintain stable feelings.
