Does your dx hinder you?

i was wondering how many people have felt that their BPD / EUPD dx has in some way prevented them from getting certain help, or has made certain people (both medical/mental health related and not) treat them differently.

i'm asking because my psychiatric nurse is refusing to give me a diagnosis review despite my therapist personally contacting her about the matter. my nurse's reasoning is that "eupd has a wide variety of symptoms" and that everything that i deal with is explained by that dx. this is despite my therapist contacting my nurse to specifically tell her that she's certain i have DID after 11 months of sessions with me, with experience on her part with both BPD and DID. my symptoms go well beyond BPD and yet i was completely brushed off, leaving me feeling intensely abandoned (ironically enough).

i've been treated badly by other medical/mental health staff because of my dx (being called "too much" or "too intense", being told i'm "purposefully" resistant to treatment, my high risk symptoms being treated as "attention seeking" one minute or "too overwhelming" to help me with the next), so my gut feeling is it's just more of that, yet again.

it sucks because getting a dx for BPD felt so helpful at first. i was able to be put on mood stabilisers, i got into group therapy for bpd patients, i felt like i wasn't a bad person because of what i was dealing with. now, as the years go on, i keep feeling bitter and angry that this dx is used against me so often, when it's supposed to help me feel better.

I don't have a dx, but what you say doesn't surprise me.

Yes, as soon as I got my BPD diagnosis the professionals who didn't know me from earlier began treating me differently. I feel as if they treat me like I'm very childish and above all, assume that all I do is to manipulate them. They trust me a lot less and doesn't listen to me.
