I think my therapist has Aspergers and I’ve been misdiagnosed
Hi, I know 100% without a doubt I’ve been misdiagnosed because my psychologist has Aspergers and misinterpreted the information presented to her. My family and friends agree with me aswell on the misdiagnoses. I’ve been diagnosed with having delusional disorder. I have ptsd which is diagnosed and whilst stressed I can sometimes get psychosis for a day or two but I snap out of it. I was not told about my delusional disorder diagnosis till the end of therapy with my psychologist and had a breakdown as I felt like the whole time the therapist didn’t get it but I had no idea she assumed I was being delusional..this has been more stressful than the original trauma of 2013. I cannot reason with the therapist as she takes it as more proof I’m delusional, she hasn’t commented since she’s received letters from my mum and a friend that the events did in fact happen. I’ve been anylising how this went so wrong for months and I’ve come to the realization that my therapist has either Aspergers or high functioning autism, I’m certain she does. It makes so much sense. I know she’s a good person and doesn’t intend to harm me but she would always butt in whilst I was trying to remember a traumatic memory, one time when I was obviously upset with her so I avoided her she rang to ask if I thought people were inserting thoughts into my head which I never have and was completely inappropriate for the given situation. She also couldn’t understand that some one can have a disorder with out a formal diagnosis for a disorder and kept talking over the top of me when I’m trying to explain that my abuser had a personality disorder. She appears unaware that people can have more than one personality disorder aswell insisting to me that my abuser had borderline when they had both borderline and antisocial personality disorder. She’s also asking me questions such as “isn’t it bizzare? And what else could it be?” Trying to get me to question my sanity regarding the abuse! My abuser would love the situation if she knew as she always used to gaslight me! Should I report this to the health department? My mother says not too because she has finished uni has a child and was freshly graduated when this happened. I understand that but she’s disregarded a huge crime towards me as a delusion and worsened my ptsd. She’s also has to write court reports for other people and has a lot of responsibility in her job. My new psychiatrist told me never to speak to her again I think my psychiatrist assumes that she is not a good person but I believe she is and the issue is that she can’t see people’s intentions or correctly read a social situation. She’s completely broken me but I know it’s unintentional I’m at a loss of what to do ? She even told the police I was delusional!!!! My abuser has gotten off Scott free !! What do I do??
Another thing, a different doctor at the addiction treatment centre I visit told my my 2 day psychosis that I get when stressed sounds to him like a flashback not psychosis..he’s also not the first doctor to pull a funny face when I mentioned I only take my meds I actually have the psychosis for like 3 days max and I’m back to normal again. He said it takes weeks to begin working but I swear that I go from completely crazy back to normal after a day or two on meds and I’m fine for most of the year. (I had the psychosis after stress even when I wasn’t abusing Drugs for 8 months)
If it’s possible that a flashback lasts 2 days, how do I tell the difference between that and psychosis?
