Hopefully, as a professional speaking to an adult, your doctor will not be dismissive of you. If she does not feel capable of evaluating the reality of your condition, she should give you a referral to a therapist or a psychiatrist who can -- you can ask for that.

Perhaps you could review your posts here at PsychCentral and use them to summarize what you need to say:
- your "moodiness"
- a concrete description of your "moodiness"
- how long you have been experiencing unstable moods (including the fact you hid your condition for fear of an abusive father -- if you feel comfortable sharing that with your doctor)
- the whole range of physical symptoms (including tiredness/sluggishness) that accompany your moods
- the effect of your moods on your marriage and activities of daily living (ADLs)
- anything else you feel is relevant
It's great you are seeing a doctor! I wish you a good outcome!
