very early on in my therapy, my therapist thought i was BPD, too. it made me really mad. the only problem with getting really mad and disbelieving it is that only reinforces the belief that you are BPD in their mind! it drove me insane. it wasn't until later on after working with me for some time that it was more obvious that i had dissociative issues, which explained why my therapist first thought BPD. but it's still taken me some time to get over that and i still haven't completely just yet.
so i agree- it's good to have the right dx, but make sure it's the right one someway.
