I've had that dilemma before. I have been diagnosed from everything from schizophrenia to simple depression. My last diagnosis was schizoaffective disorder which for me is basically depression with psychotic features. They also say I have borderline personality disorder.

Does it really matter what they diagnose you as? Those are just labels, IMO, that people stick on you to categorize your characteristics of personality. I quit believing in those labels. Now I am just me, who has had a pretty rough life. That's it. I have problems is all. People tell me I am mentally ill and sick. I tell them I am not...I am just a product of my environment...does that in itself make me sick? That must mean that everyone else in the world is, too.

Hang in there. I feel like I don't fit in anywhere either. You are not alone in this feeling.
