I’m still really angry about how the therapist made me feel like I shouldn’t have researched my mental health symptoms online as if they’re accusing me of misdiagnosing myself even though I made it explicitly clear that I was never trying to self-diagnose. They even went as far as using a hypochondriac person as an example as if THAT’S equivalent to what I’m fucking doing. Looking up your symptoms online is normal, almost everyone does it, yet because I was wrong about potentially having BPD, because I so much as dared to consider the possibility, she made me feel like I should not have consulted online for information to begin with. Well if I never fucking looked up why I might be feeling like shit, I would never have come to you as a therapy patient. If I don’t feel good, I want to find the root cause, and that starts with researching online, and just because I found something doesn’t mean I believe every fucking thing I read or assume everything applies to me 100%, yet that’s exactly how you made it seem like I do.
