Today, I had a date with a man who works as a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder during dinner. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my psychiatrist diagnosed me with a personality disorder. So now I have no friends, no job, no love, but I've got a personality disorder. FML
Today, my boyfriend is blaming me for his recent diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. Apparently, I should have just kept on tolerating all of his explosive outbursts, instead of "forcing" him to start couples' therapy with me. FML
Today, we had our friends over for dinner, one of whom is a psychiatrist. After a few drinks, my drunk wife and the equally drunk psychiatrist began to analyze my various character flaws. FML
Today, I overcame my lack of social confidence and got a date for the first time in 10 or so years. After a while, my date admitted that she's a schizophrenic with dissociative identity disorder. I guess it's back to being single. FML
Today, after spending 4 years without dating after an abusive relationship, and going out with who I thought was a decent guy for 6 months, I told him I have bipolar disorder and take medication for it. He responded by dumping me saying he can’t date someone who’s “crazy.” Back to putting my wall up I go. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I have no idea if when I feel an emotion if it's me or my disorder. I'm my brain's bitch. FML
Today, I took a Tinder date home. Before we got down to sexy time, he used the restroom. While there, he was Googling what Lamotrigine was, which was from my prescription bottle to treat my bipolar disorder. He left because, “I don’t do crazy bitches.” This always happens when I disclose this. I give up on dating. FML
Today, my friend fixed me up with a guy from her workplace. I'm painfully shy, so I really appreciated it and was looking forward to meeting him, since she described him as very sweet. Once the date got started, he continuously made fun of my speech impediment, until I finally left in tears. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I've had a crush on for ages. Midway through the meal, he sighed and said, "I'll be honest, this is a horrible date. You got zero personality and I'm too lazy to do a window escape, so..." He then got up and walked out. FML
Today, I decided to try something new and sign up for an online dating service, since I can't meet a decent guy in person. The first guy I talked to told me he used to be in a mental hospital for obsessing over a girl, then told me he would be dreaming of me that night. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds like he prescribed you a moderate dose of NOPE. But in all seriousness, if he's that good at identifying problems then maybe he's also good at dealing with them. You never know until you try.

oh the pressure of writing the numero uno comment.

You are unworthy of the 1st comment. For shame!

1. A first date isn't 5 minutes. 2. Borderlines are easy to spot with any real clinical experience. 3. The biggest problem with borderlines and misdiagnosis is letting them believe they are bipolar. I've seen a lot of irresponsible misdiagnosis, but in a decade in the field I have NEVER seen someone diagnosed borderline that wasn't borne out by a thorough assessment.

I meant to vote up for this but accidentally voted down :/

Supposedly, a well trained/experienced psychiatrist needs a minimum of an hour to analyze someone...

50, I was assessed for maybe 15 minutes, diagnosed with BPD. Which ended up being the wrong diagnosis. Also, I find it disgusting that you have supposedly been in the field for so long and yet still don't know better than to refer to people as "borderlines". Just saying..

You'll never know what if he gets mad at her and sends her at mental asylum

I'm sure he's just a jerk! Don't take it too hard OP, I'm sure you'll find someone!

Or he might actually be trying to help her. She might be unhappy because of that and now that she knows she has it she can seek treatment and perhaps be happier.

and at the same time get a second opinion because it takes more than just one session to diagnose someone with a personality disorder especially seeing as he did it on a first date where she wouldn't have been completely her self.

#3. These generic, sympathetic comments are so dull. I want the time back that I've spent reading the same boring comments over and over on every FML.

He's no jerk! He gave her a free diagnosis! Usually you have to pay a lot of money for that.

I'm sure they're all just jerks! Don't take it so hard #3, I'm sure you'll find a non-generic comment eventually!

38 that's a scumbag thing to say. I don't care if you or anyone finds them dull. Sometimes sympathy is needed. I would hate to see you at a funeral. "I'm sorry for your loss-" "Shut up and make a joke already!"

That must have been an awkward rest of the evening......

Not really. OP got up and simply said, "The voices in my head are saying that you should get lost and I agree."

Therapy and a meal!

With a free meal included, she is the real MVP.

Hey, free therapy sessions

OP, FYL that man can't even put aside his work enough to have a normal date with you .
doctorhook86 25
...Or she was borderline and the guy didn't want to go through the trouble.
1dvs_bstd 41
How much did he charge?
cakefete2 31
Usually 100/hr. Fortunately, he accepted OP's insurance and the date was on the list of covered expenses.

You are trying too hard, cakefete.

Guess they can't all be winners.

Look on the bright side, people pay tons of money to hear that stuff from shrinks. You got it for free.
