Psychiatrists hate her! One weird £5 trick for Mental Normality

See, posts like this are the reason I'm so scared of a PD misdiagnosis. I know lots of lovely people who have and identify with a PD diagnosis and every one of them has to put up with this kind of shit - and notice how nobody on the thread challenges it the way they would if the condition mentioned were OCD or depression.

Well, not the only reason - I also genuinely don't think it fits me at all well and will just result in me getting all the wrong treatment like I have in the past.

But the stigma and prejudice against people with PD is breathtaking, and far worse on MN than anywhere else I've ever seen.

DP is drinking the most revolting-smelling thing - cinnamon and vanilla Jaegermeister and tonic water

Ben agree.why do we have to put up with the stigma surrounding PD. The treatment given never seems to be right. Don't get me started on hoe the arrive at the diagnosis ......

Oops Ben not Ben

Hmm, looks like someone did challenge that post, just after I linked to it. Fair enough.

I stand by my assertion that bigotry about PDs is absolutely rife on MN, though.

Damn auto correct. I give up

it's okay, I got your drift

Fucking drunk again

Morning all :)

Morning. How you today?

I am really struggling to get up for work. I realise what I did last night in texting colleague was stupid. I cant face either interracting with her, or watching her ignore me.

Thoughts of SH are screaming at me. I am so fed up with my never improving lack of social abilities and how I make my own life so chaotic and lonely as a result. Nothing helps. The stigma makes everything harder.

Hugs, Toothy. I think you need to talk, face to face, otherwise I imagine that it will just eat away at you
I'm not too bad thank you, but OH is annoyed with me for not making steps to sort my life out :/ I am, in that I'm going to therapy and making tiny steps, but he can't see this. Meh.

you can do it toothy, you're not the first and you won't be the last human to do something they later regret, blur the workplace boundaries a bit

good luck

I can relate, Toothy, I have an attachment disorder diagnosis and now I see how this condition has impacted on my relationships throughout my life and it makes me v sad

This whole concept of blurred boundaries: thats the problem because I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I dont understand the difference between colleague and friend. Davis was telling me off last week for treating her like a professional rather than a friend: I kept trying to explain to her that I dont understand the difference.

Are there any sites or books which can explain it to me in a way that presupposes no prior understanding?

But I know I have sex only with DH but never with friends, colleagues or professionals - I get that, and have never been attracted sexually to anyone in the above categories. So if I suceed in not blurring sexual boundaries, why can I not grasp the rest?

I don't know, are books and websites about these specific things? there seem to be plenty about relationships and social interaction - do you think if you add to your theoretical understanding of how these things work your feelings will fall into line?

And if colleagues dont text each other, why has Line Manager given me her number and invited me to text her "anytime before midnight"? I'm not challenging the suggestion of you all that I shouldn't be texting colleague, I JUST DON'T GET IT

Polly I dont know but I will try anything

I just want to stop fucking up the lives of everyone around me. I UPSET Colleague last night, and I feel awful on her behalf

Toothy, big hug
I think, if anything, my boundaries are too tight!! Maybe we could learn from each other, as I get very confused too!

Morning, sending out hugs and kicks to those who need them.
I'm going away for a few day so if I'm not here then that's why!

We'll miss you, Caulk!! Don't stay away too long :)
