So I've been in the process of applying for disability and yesterday I had to see a psychologist at the disability office's request.

He was very nice, and polite and not condescending at all.

He diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder.

I find that kind of scary. I never thought I had a personality disorder, but the diagnostic criteria fit me, and it wigs me out. I'm apparently not in the "better prognosis" category either, since I also have been diagnosed with PTSD and recurrent major depression. A family history of alcoholism doesn't help much either, although I personally do not drink to excess very often at all because of my dad's alcoholism.

Am I going to spend my entire life in and out of hospitals, in and out of jobs, in and out of life?
