From the online personality thingers that I have done I think I'm not a sociopath a just a person with psychopathic traits
by HelenaYour responses to Pink's questions appear to indicate that you do not know what a multiaxial assessment is, or that no such assessment has been performed to date. What were the titles of these charts of which you speak?
I'm not having this discussion with you, because no matter what I tell you, you won't believe me anyway. So, what's the point.

Nice and direct - I like that! It'll save us a lot of time, even if it does mean that the rest of the forum will be deprived of an entertaining two days where you progressively regress under my interrogation.
I'll cut right to it, then: you've never heard of a multiaxial assessment because you've never had one. That means that no registered psychologist or psychiatrist has ever diagnosed you with anything.
Oh! Pink promised that no one would take away your AsPD diagnosis on this thread. Too bad, I guess. Sooner or later someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about was going to, anyway.
When I was discharged I heard my depressive disorder diagnosis from a social worker I had to go to outpatient. I had never seen the multiple axies, the notes written about me, etc I requested them a few months ago... Nor did I have any idea that I was considered to have some sort of PD. Nor did I know my roommate of the time was a rat. Otherwise I would have bashed her face in
The only thing that throws me off about demon is her BS. That being said I think she has features...not the entire PD.
And a shrink would verbalize features of PD's they think you might have...
It's possible that someone could have an Axis II disorder without having an Axis I disorder. It's unlikely, however, unless that person had been forced to undergo an evaluation by the courts, because people with PDs don't generally present for treatment or assessment for their actual personality disorders. They usually present with a specific distressing symptom related to an Axis I disorder. Axis II disorders take time to diagnose - Demon's so keen on having us believe that her patience threshold is too low to withstand multiple therapeutic sessions that we're going to have to infer that she's had no long term therapy. She's also insisted on this fact in the past, because actually admitting to have attended therapy - for any reason at all - would damage her reputation as an Internet Badass. No credible psychiatrist would throw the labels of AsPD and SD on a patient who'd just walked into their office off the street one day.
Demon has heard your story a million times
FYI I think it's pretty easy to tell initially if a person has a personality disorder. What type/features comes with time but I think general criteria which you have to meet first for a PD comes out very quickly. Or at least in my opinion it should...if it doesn't the person probably doesn't have one
I know for a fact I was diagnosed and I can vouch my own life on it, but since you're so determined to believe what you want, well, what does it matter anyway. Those labels only matter in a psychologist's office. So, why get so worked up over them?
The funny thing is, we wouldn't even be having this discussion if I only mentioned I was schizoid and not AsPD, even though you have zero proof that I am schizoid and could not possibly know online whether I am or not. You would just blindly accept it anyway.
I don't get why my mention of having AsPD is such a big deal to you. It's not as though the label is anything special. Well, obviously it means a hell of a lot to you because you keep on my back about it.
If you don't want to believe I was diagnosed, then that's fine. Don't believe it, but get off my goddamn back about it.
