Knowing can be painful and hurtful and damaging.  Everyone has a right to know what is wrong with them or believed to be wrong with them.

It could be.  I only learnt through dbt skills how to try and describe my emotions.

We're reasonably close.

Maybe they know you better than you think.  Were you given prozac?  Maybe you should try taking one.  You feel sick and gross anyway you probably wouldn't even notice any of the side-effects.
I would feel more comfortable taking something short-term or as you need it for anxiety.

Why wouldn't they tell me though i would like to know?
My therapist rang me this morning so early i was still asleep, i called him yesterday to tell him i didn't want them to have my notes and he didn't call back so he called this morning instead. He said its my choice but he has looked into it he even contacted his solictor to see what he could do about not giving them my records but the solictor told him he could be done for preventing the course of justice if he did that and if i refused the police will just go to court and get them, so i don't really have a choice.
I'm just going to go along with it if she gets the other guy as well when then there's nothing i can do about it, the problem is i reported the recent incident, but something happened 4 years ago which i didn't report but i told my therapist, when the police got my notes because of what happened then they questioned me on it and i told them i didn't want to make a complaint about it because the person had been a friend at one point and i didn't need the stress, anyway they said that now they knew about it they had to investigate it as well  even though i didn't want them to, i don't want to withdraw the other complaint because i want this person caught and also my partner would go mad.
Is it part of a personaility disorder if you don't know what emotions you are experiencing, like i panic but really its fear or stress or anger thats causing the panic i don't feel the emotion just the panic.
That isn't fair on you that you paid for all that stuff and she went and done that, i suppose it wouldn't help to say anything though. At least you know you were good to him and kind, and hopefully he appreicates it.
Another stressful day, mu GP gave me anti-depressants, does he not know me by now?
My social worker is calling to see if i take them, she doesn't listen either.
I hope you have a good day, at least its a chance to spend some time with your brother. Are you close to him?
Take care

It's not too bad with my brother and his girlfriend -so far anyway.  She has gone into town today for a $150 massage (which everyone assumes my brother is paying for).  I feel a bit gutted because I have no money and spent what I did have on petrol for his car and gluten free products for his undiagnosed gf.

You should disclose everything you know to the police.  If you don't want to make a complaint then you should withdraw it.  If you do, then give them the information.

Even if they though you had a PD I don't expect they would tell you.  What from you say they're saying it basically sounds like they are saying that you have it.  Impulsiveness, trouble regulating emotions, etc.  ??

If the underlying issue is causing the depression then the med is less likely to help.  Working through the issues will.

I find the dbt stuff interesting i can see the theory behind it, just at this time my head is so full of stuff but i do read alot of it.
Therapy was ok we talked alot he said it seems the impulsiveness has got worse and it concerns him and he said my biggest problem seems to be that i can't regulate my emotions and i don't seem to know what emotions i am experiencing he said that must be really hard to deal with it i said it is, he said he can see a pattern of when the emotions become too much i can't cope with them and then i act impulsively.
He also had a meeting with the police yesterday regarding me him and my social worker, the police woman leading the investigation and another social worker, a new protocol has been put in place because of the way they treated me and now they have to go to my therapist before they contact me, they have requested my notes from the trauma therapy i think that is terrible, he said i can refuse but he said they will only go to court and get them anyway and he said it will make me look worse in there eyes. I told him i wasn't happy about it but i felt i had no choice. I was upset they hadn't told me about it beforehand but i suppose i wasn't invited to it so i didn't need to know.
I think they are looking for a name but i won't tell them i don't know, without going into much detail this happened before and i know who done it and well they found this out from my notes they requested before and they wanted the name and i refused and they tried to get my therapist to get me to tell them but he wouldn't, they think the incidents are connected in some way but i don't, sorry if this is too much information.
He never said much about the questionaire, i should have asked but he just talked about my emotions and he's not sure what therapy to go for he is going to talk with the psychotherapists to see what they think and he said he will do it in my time when i'm ready. He said i'm not ready to leave him yet which is true, but he said it will be in a few months time he is going of on holiday now for three weeks so he will sort it when he comes back. He is also so involved with the police that i don't know what will happen when i leave but i guess maybe the new therapist will maybe take over from him.
Yeah from what i have read it sounds like bpd, would they tell me if it was?
I saw one of the other GPs today i felt so unwell this morning and he said too it sounds like depression and i need to take medication, so did my therapist he said it won't work without medication but i will see.
I'm not so anxious about the illness but i hate medication because of the side effects the GP said today its unlikely that the medication caused the depression because he said i have had mental health issues for so long its more likely to be that, and he said i have been on the medication a while so i shouldn't really have any side effects now but i do, i took half of the tablet tonight and tomorrow i will feel like i have a hangover, i took a full tablet last week and i didn't feel so good.
I have went on so much again.
How are you doing with your brother being there.

Sounds a little like me.  Normal except for a,b,c.  =)
I guess the fear of developing a tumor would be sufficient motivation to take the med.  Pity you can't blame all the brain stuff on that.
All of those symptoms could add to one feeling anxious though.  If I were to feel continuously unwell then I would be feeling a little anxious and apprehensive.

I hate that -doctors saying you're fine when you feel pretty lousy.

Maybe postnatal depression or psychosis.  It happens.

The more you talk the more aspects sound like bpd.  ??  I don't mean to thrash something on you but to me it kind of makes sense and that could be why you haven't responded to treatment.

I wonder what your T would think if you asked him if he thought you had it.  ??

It's good that you're being proactive and seeing your GP to discuss your concerns.

That dbt class stuff seems a bit excessive doesn't it.  I was going to read all the posts but I ended up deleting all of them.  Without some experience in it it may not be all that helpful.
