Oh, I see you have a new general practitioner, not a pdoc. All the more reason for her to be very conservative in evaluating a patient with psych issues. The downside is, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and the average GP simply doesn't have the specialized training to deal with the grey areas in psychiatry. That said, I hope you'll continue to monitor your moods---start a mood diary if you haven't already---and keep track of them over a long period of time (at least 3-6 months) to show your doctor at your appointments. In the meantime, stick around....we'll support you even if you turn out NOT to be BP/cyclothymic or whatever.
