I saw my T today.

It was not the helpful session I was hoping for. Not at all really. I felt a bit attacked from the second I walked in the door. I told her about the necklace the ex gave me and she asked me repeatedly why I'd kept it (rather than giving it back to him). I dont really know why. Then she started asking about my cognitive distortions re: the relationship. I'm sure there are/were some, but it was too much to take. I shut down. We ended up arguing about the borderline label and me telling her how I feel like literally everything I talk about is evidence of me being unhealthy in one way or another. I feel the need to shut down and protect myself, which I also told her. She sort of got it, and said most of the right things... but I dont know, I dont feel like she really got it completely. She definitely does not get why the borderline label can be hurtful. I explained that I dont mind the depression diagnosis but BPD is different - she didnt get that at all. The whole session has shaken me pretty hard. I was/am feeling very vulnerable right now... the breakup is still VERY raw. Heck, the "no contact" with my ex just began on Sunday. I'm not ready to be pushed. I told her that.

One day at a time...
