I hope you know what I mean. I made a test, just a screening test, because some people said I should because I hurt myself, and the test said I could have borderline. The test contained 40 questioins which I answered totally honest and thought well about it. Can anyone help me?
Okay, here are further explanations: This illness is a personality disturbance. This can be caused in the early childhood by abusing and bullying. Since I got abused sexually and bullied a lot, this could be the reason. I will now do another tests with counsillers to see if it's true.
ines, you should be very careful about self diagnosing off the back of a questionnaire, unless that questionnaire was provided to you by a qualified professional. There are numerous sources on the internet relating to health, mental and otherwise, and it is all too easy to self diagnose off the info contained in some of these, however, sadly a vast number of these sites are unreliable. I would therefore recommend that you seak advice from a qualified professional, a psychiatrist or some such person before worrying that you are perhaps suffering from something which you maybe are not. Good luck.
Well, this test was from a psychologist, in the internet. Still, I will see a psychologist again to be very sure.
none the less, anyone can set up a website on the internet and claim to be a psychologist. such people are not regulated and so therefore I wouldn't trust the info unless you've had it face to face from someone who has the right qualifications and who you have been referred to, perhaps by your doctor.
it is definitely important ines that if you have concerns reguarding your mental, or indeed physical, health that you go and seek proper professional help instead of believing what you've been told on an internet website! as claire says just because these people claim to be fully qualified in there respective fields doesn't in anyway prove that they are.
The best of luck to you.
Yeah, but don't you understand that I lost my trust in any psychologists or counsillers? Because, see, I had 5 or 6 of them and nothing helped!!!
well firstly ines, when you went to see the councellors in the past, was it because you wanted to? or was it because it was recommended that you do so. Because there is a difference. You can only get help, if you really want it, even if someone else says you need help, if you are not receptive, then all the psychologists in the world will not make any difference. And if you go there with the attitude that "it never helped before", you are expecting not to be helped and therefore the negative response will not help either. you have to look positively, you have to go there with an open mind, and take on board what they tell you.
I wanted to see these counsillers. I really did. But they were school counsillers and nothing really proffessional I guess.
And through all these psychologist-meetings I tried to look positively.
school councellors are invariably not very good. I've never heard anyone say anything positively about a school councellor, having never been in a position where I've needed councelling, I can only speak though from what others have told me. As for seeing a psychologist, I'd suggest you went to see your doctor, and get a referral from there.
Yeah and I had one counsiller outside school. But I will go to a psychologic institute.
I've been through couciling, school ones aren't that good usually, and outside school, some were good, others, not so good. You have to relate with the person, get to trust them, and if it's not a person you can do that with then it's pointless and time to find another one. Just my experience though I still wonder why I was there in the first place but once I foudn the right one I at least put up with it.
ines, like what sb and others have said here, nothing is confirm now. don't be to worry on that matters. you should go for a better test, where have a psychologist can do it with you. base on the web questions air, sometime, is just something very general question and it does not mean anything to me. go to look for someone who have the qualification on psychology and they will help you up. lots of the web questions air are done by those who are not qualifite. but yet to be a psychologist.
Yeah I will. I agree JOhn, you have to trust the counsillers ... they all were nice, but I somehow couldn'T trust them.
I had a colossal 6 month breakdown some time ago.And after 1 month of counselling,I eventually realised, that the psychiatrist was not going to let the cause of my illness anywhere near me,that he was not lurking around the corner waiting to kill me...she slowly rebuilt my trust until I recovered to be as well as anyone can after such a traumatic event...if you never learn to trust you will never recover...
Ines, I think what's already been said is probably the best advice you'll get at this time. It's important to realise, that even if an anonamous internet psych seems the easier option, which is understandable if you've had bad experiences with psychs face-to-face, there's just no guarantee of what you're getting at all. Even if you have to try a few qualified, face-to-face psychs in the real-world before you find one you're comfortable talking to, it's worth the effort. You're mental state of mind is a precious thing, don't trust it's diagnosis to someone who couldn't tell you from Adam, and who is very likely a fraud.
It is not only me who did not trust, Goblin. Other people, who had the same counsillers, said they just were not true. However, a friend of mine now suggested one institute, and i will try that, because she does not trust many people and she could trust them, so I might be able to trust them, too.
Yeah, relying on the 'net' for such things is not a good idea. On the 'net' anyone can be anyboddy. Not good to trust your state of well being to just anyone. I agree with what all of the others have said here. John
Ines, as everyone has said, I think it's best that you go and seek face to face advice. Working with people who have been abused, I can say, it is entirely possible, but what you need to remember is, just because it's possible, doesn't mean it's gospel. If you are going to seek help, or seek answers, I would suggest that you go to an organisation who works with people who have been through what you have. Like school counsellors, psychologists in the medical profession, deal with a lot of different people. There won't be many who have specialised in the area you need to gain information or help from. Boarderline disorder, is something that is used a lot in the medical world as an excuse for other things. Abuse is so stigmatised, that a lot of people refuse to accept it happens. I am no specialist, but I doubt very much that you have boarderline personality disorder. There may be things that you may need to work through, providing that that is what you want to do, but this does not mean that you have boarderline personality disorder. Take care.
