I get the feeling you are mixing things - if psychiatric cannot you officially diagnose with F code, they still can say they agree with your self assessment- which seems they did not. Your emotions are not about diagnosis but by the fact that they dismissed your symptoms. They can validate them even without official diagnosis. In order to be diagnosed with CPTSD you also need to meet PTSD criteria. If you do not have them - CPTSD cannot be diagnosed. Secondly - why do you want F code assigned? This code will impact your life as it can be seen my other medical professionals, government authorities and can put limitations on to your life. As there is no medication for DID, I assume it’s validation. In that case the best scenario is to go to therapy (which is the only “medication” assigned to DID) and discuss this there and get validation. As you are already in therapy it seems you are just frustrated (understandable) that they dismissed some of your symptoms and assigned BPD.
