"This diagnosis stirs up many emotions and discussions on social media – for some it’s ok, others loathe it. I’m in the latter category I’m afraid. Having this diagnosis applied to me (often I’m unaware it’s happened) has become a nightmare, mostly resulted in poor staff attitude and often I’ve been discharged with a ‘we can’t help you anymore’. I fight like a tiger against it for it doesn’t make sense to me. The description doesn’t match how I act and feel. The only similarity is that I’ve attempted suicide more than once. But perversely I am aware the more I protest the more likely the professionals will think they have the correct diagnosis."
