Very Scared and anxious

Today i f*cked up !

After waiting for almost four and a half months for my appointment to be assessed. I went to the wrong Hospital !

So now i have to wait for another appointment!

But this isn't the problem.

My problem is that, i saw a nurse i knew from having a talk with a while back at my doctors. And he was saying things, you might have BPD but you CAN control your outbursts

I tried explaining to him about schematherapy and the five different modes of BPD, but it was like he had no idea what i was talking about ....

Then he said something that sent alarm bells ringing. He said yes, in our past meeting you showed traits of BPD but it was more your anxousness i am worried about

So it has got me thinking that maybe they will take my BPD label away even though was diagnosed with it last june by another hospital in another city (where i am from originally)

Can they do that, can they strike it from my medical records ? 0.o

The reason i am worried is because when i was diagnosed with BPD it was such a relief, i could start getting better and i wasn't alone with the way i felt and thought... other people are like me too..

i felt accepted...

Maybe i am over thinking and the nurse has no idea what he is talking about.

or maybe i have BPD and serious anxiety issue's

I feel i do have BPD with my past and present behaviour.

thanks for reading, bye

Once you have been diagnosed with an illness, that diagnosis will remain in your permanent record.
Your doctor can, however, decide that you were misdiagnosed and give you a new diagnosis.
BUT...
take what was said today with a grain of salt. In my opinion, it sounded as if the healthcare provider was saying "yes, you do have BPD but I'm MORE concerned with your anxiety".
Also..
I wish I had a dollar for everytime my psychiatrist said something to me about my diagnosis and then in the next visit she apparently didn't remember saying it and said something else.
And even better..
At the end of the day, no matter what your diagnosis, there are people on this forum and elsewhere that share your "mental health identity", no matter what it might be.
Good luck.
