UK: The NHS make me worse

[CGN83]

Seriously I want to get better and break this constant cycle of suicidal thoughts.

The NHS have on their records that I have BPD and I strongly disagree with that. I've made it clear that I disagree but they couldn't give a damn.

My mood cycle is much more spread out rather than instant ups and downs like you get with BPD and I'd like to start some sort of treatment to help stabilise me but the NHS staff just don't listen, they always just refer back to their record that says I have BPD.

Has anyone successfully managed to get a diagnosis overturned? How did you manage it?

Yeah, it does that.

I'm still arguing that the autism diagnosis I got when I was thirteen, after having previously been assessed and found not to be autistic and while dealing with mental health issues that I both tried to hide and didn't understand to begin with, was wrong and uhhhhhh they don't care they couldn't care less.

If you really are serious in defeating this then try meditation, stay away from any sort of alcohol. Taje long walks and walk at least 10 minutes barefoot on grass. Stare at a green patch or leaves and do not think about the past, the future. you are the present and you are there, that's it. Try for 10 days and slowly see the transformation unfold.

If you are using BPD as bipolar and not borderline personality disorder. There are some Youtube videos by a guy named Pete in the UK that outlines his management of his own bipolar. Steven Fry also has some videos as he also is bipolar.

There may be other Youtube videos regarding self help successes.

I know someone in the same situation as you. They put in a complaint to the NHS re the diagnosis and took each category of BPD and explained why this didnt apply to them and they didnt meet the criteria, therefore did not have BPD. The NHS couldn't care less and will always protect their own. They ended up paying a private psycharist on Psycharisty UK (think it was like £360) for the appointment. And that psychiatrist went through the BPD criteria with them my friend made 100% sure her answers didnt lean towards that criteria and the Psycharist confirmed that they did not believe the person had BPD. This then got sent to GP and my friend showed the GP- unfortunately once a diagnosis is on record it can't be 'removed' but she got it as 'marked in error'. She has since requested her records and it doesnt show up.

Basically as awful as it is, I doubt the NHS will overturn it. If you disagree your best bet unfortunately is to pay privately and then get them to overturn it and take it to GP to amend your records.

This shouldn't have to be....and you should be listened to....but when did a psycharist listen to their patients hey!
