I just wanted to chime in with a suggestion. In the past, I found myself being diagnosed with a dozen different things all because one symptom led to so many others.

I started out having trouble sleeping because of work problems in the military. I go talk to a therapist and next thing I know, I am being diagnosed with depression/anxiety. They put me on anti-depressants. Turns out I wasn't depressed. The anti-depressants actually have a reverse effect and cause suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms. I end up in the hospital as a suicide risk. I go out with some friends some time later and get slipped a 'roofie'. Now that I ended up in the hospital for what appeared to be alcohol poisoning (they didn't test for roofies), I appear out of control. Suddenly, I am being diagnosed as being in manic phase and I MUST be Bipolar. I am put on a series of bipolar meds and (because I am not Bipolar), I started to have odd shakes and visual hallucinations from the medicine, oh and my hair started falling out. So, they assume I have developed psychosis and put me on an anti-psychotic. At that point, I became a medicated zombie, barely functioning. I finally get out of the military and off all medication and realize that the hormones in the birth control pills I had been taking for the last few years were to blame. Within two months of being off all medication, including the bc pills, I have been perfectly fine.

Point to my story, is that we should all try eliminating every influencing factor out of our lives. No hormones, pills, alcohol, drugs (even caffeine)... and adding in a little exercise in your life. Then, at that point, after everything else has been removed, you still have some psychological symptom, then it is reasonable to get yourself checked out.

I read so many comments on different boards and people who have convinced themselves that they have this, that or the other disorder and the most common theme is that very few have tried completing clearing themselves of every substance or lifestyle behavior that can affect their personality, body, life, etc. Just my two cents.
