well, i can never even remember my dx -- it's very generic. basically i think it's an adjustment disorder or something. but i've suffered from depression and anxiety.on thursday, the same day she said all this stuff to me that made me furious when i thought about it afterwards, she also (i didn't mention this) told me she thought maybe i was borderline. i guess maybe she's right but i always find diagnoses to be somewhat invalidating also, and borderline's an especially hard one. (she presented this very carefully to me, making sure i understood that she didn't think of this pejoratively. she also loaned me an interesting booklet about it. but it was still fairly disconcerting. no one's ever suggested i was borderline before. the booklet, though, makes it seem like an appropriate dx for me.)
why do you ask?
