Hi, obviously I'm new here...i came across this site while looking up info...I was diagnosed with depression about 8 or 9 years ago, tried many different meds, none of which helped. About 2 years ago, my doc also diagnosed me with anxiety...yesterday for the first time I saw a psychiatrist for a consultation/evaluation...I had finally asked my doc to refer me cuz i need help....after over an hour with the psychiatrist...he diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder. He also told me that he couldnt help me there at the psychiatric hospital, even on an out patient basis, that I should call CMHA (Canadian Mental Health Association) and they could try and teach me some "coping skills". I cant begin to describe how I felt when he said all of that...almost like I was just given a death sentence...
I guess I am just looking for some sort of support...I don't know what to do or think right now...I've been crying since the psychiatrist told me i had BPD...
I had applied for ODSP for my depression/anxiety, and have a hearing in August with the tribunal to plead my case...I don't know what to do... I will copy and paste this in the forums in hopes that someone may read it and be able to help/advise me....
