So apparently I have a personality disorder (borderline)... I reeeaaally don't like being labelled with it, in fact it makes me intensly angry but of course if i vent my anger in any way shape or form they'll probably have me in hospital again...
i just need support/guidance/your stories etc please... i'm trying to accept it, but i hate it so much.

this is what I wrote a few months ago in a similar thread, I thought it might help you too:
This will probably be the most pertinent thing said in this thread.

Humans are a spectrum of behaviours and emotions and some of us may need more support than others at some times in our life. A psychiatrist giving a diagnosis is intended to help people - though we may face shitty reactions from people uninformed due to their own ignorance.
The way I feel about my own diagnosis (and I by no means use my own experiences as standard, nor do I wish to downply your own associations) is that you gotta know what beast you're up against before you choose a weapon.
By the way, like a lot of bipolar diagnosed people, we are questioned about having borderline too (something I fought, as I know I don't have those traits). As has been said, you can challenge it... Or of course you can explore it and see if it can be of some benefit to you.
it's just been difficult cause some people (professionals) seem to think that i make up 'psychotic' thoughts.. been some comments in notes about possible schizophrenia but now they don't believe the amount of confusion and pain in my head just because i did not appear to be 'agitated' in hospital, but i was and very very angry, but i was scared to be restrained and forcibly injected so i tried to appear 'normal'. not a happy bunny (easter pun intended- happy easter!)
