I agree with Venus.
Every time I checked in with my pdoc she asked about how the symptoms had been affecting my day to day life and my general outlook for the future to see where I'm standing and if I need change in the medication or other kinds of support.
Unfortunately the first pdoc I had wasn't anything like that and who knows about the next one I'll get (as I moved a few weeks ago) but the bottom line is: the diagnosis is supposed to help you find treatment for your cluster of symptoms, not to get you trapped in DSM lists and labels. Reading about BP might also help you - whether you have it or not.
I hope you manage to see a doctor who knows how to help and thinks outside the box
Take care.
