yeah do you think that sometimes it was maybe more leading with assumptions based on a diagnosis of what you might be struggling with or navigating rather than actually listening to you as an individual and thinking okay how does this fit for you what could we do to support you going forwards it's almost like well you've got anorexia so therefore obviously the thing that you're doing is related to

yeah yeah I do think that and actually in the past I've been diagnosed with a personality disorder as well, which is something that's very kind of stereotyped and judged.

And that was something as well, which I'd quite often get the comments of, like, oh, well, she's probably going to get attached to that person because of her personality disorder or that because of her personality disorder.

Like, in more recent times, like, I've actually been diagnosed with ADHD just over a year ago.

And learning... about ADHD and how much it kind of explains basically everything that's going on in my brain I don't actually personally think the personality disorder diagnosis is is right and I'm not I'm not saying that um that's the same case for everybody um because they can go alongside of each other they can be one or the other um so that's a separate conversation like I had with my psychiatrist but because I did have that diagnosis of a personality disorder That actually brought so many issues at the very beginning before I was hospitalised because I can't even remember what waiting lists I was on.

I think I was on a waiting list for the personality disorder services team for some therapy, but I was also referred to the eating disorder team.

But then because I was on the waiting list for the personality disorder team, the eating disorder team wouldn't accept me.

it.
