    The Diagnosis of Personality Disorder

  • Thank you for considering sharing your experiences with Platfform through the Truth Project. We’re aiming to highlight the lived reality of being given a diagnosis of personality disorder. Whether that is your own experience, working alongside people, or family members or friends, we want to capture a range of experiences. You can find out more about how we use people’s stories to drive change here

  • Part 1

    A few details about you.

  • You do not have to provide your name, but we may need to ask it later if you would like to be involved in some of our other Truth Project work

  • Part 2

    Your experience

  • What do we mean by 'from your own perspective?'

    This means that your story relates to your own experiences of a family member or friend receiving this diagnosis, such as your observations about how they were treated and supported, and the effect on you. This is different from sharing someone else's story on their behalf.

    Please note that for stories of this type, we will have to anonymise all names, including your name and the names of any friends or family members.

  • We ask which location of the UK your experiences took place in to help us better inform our reports and help make the case for the things that need to change. 

    You do not need to share the region, but if you do, it will help Platfform to understand what is happening in what areas. This then helps us focus our efforts where they are needed the most. Your location will not be made public.

  • Please share your story

    We understand that sharing personal information about difficult experiences could be emotionally distressing, so you may want to let a trusted friend know or talk to someone who supports you, before sharing your full story with us. 

    If we publish your story, we will always try and use your own words as much as possible. We may remove personal details for you or others mentioned, and we may make other small changes to meet safety guidelines.
