Did Van Gogh cut his ear because he was borderline?

Hi!
I was diagnosed with Emotional Dysregularity Disorder in October 2011 after years and years of suffering (now aged 24). Since then I've had so many questions about the diagnosis and the disorder in general but the healthcare system has been utterly awful, and I've been unable to actually talk to a professional about this. So, I was hoping some of you might be able to talk me through some stuff?
Firstly, I've tried looking ...

I don't know where to begin. I'm so drained and upset. My best friend (pErson I'm obsessed with and known my whole life) is the person I'm referring to. We've had our ups and downs and he usually treats me this way 1-2 times per year and it affects me deeply.

Okay, I might as well begin by saying that I haven't seen a psychologist yet, so I haven't been diagnosed with anything. I don't expect anyone here to be able to give me a diagnosis, but I really want to hear what you think. This is going to be very long, so I apologize in advance.

From a very young age, I've always felt inadequate. I wasn't completely devoid of confidence as a child (like ...

However I have plucked up the courage to see ...

My therapist won't take me off anti-psychotics that are causing me restlessness and lethargy. He says he won't do any therapy without me on it because it's impossible to do therapy without me on them. I think it's all just a cop out and he needs to grow some balls and get me off the stuff.

Hey, I've been on this site for so long and I've just decided to make an account so- forgive me if this post is a bit self indulgent, no mean comments please * I react terribly to insults haha *
