I have BPD. On at least four separate occasions when I've tried to get crisis inpatient psych care (once at an emergency room) staff have done this kind of roleplay? They pretend to have a conversation that sounds like they are gossiping.

Is this a thing that is common to test how reactive someone with BPD in crisis will react? Or is this something that is specific to me relating to my medical file? It's made me extremely paranoid over the years. I'm just trying to get some clarity on what is going on to try and engage with treatment more effectively without jumping to paranoid delusions.
