I was in rehab after a dui, and all the therapists there literally blamed me for my behavior and gave me anger workbooks etc. They diagnosed me as a narcissist with ocd, my wife knew deep down that was not the case, that there was something wrong with me. I accepted that I was an alcoholic and all the behavior was from that, the self center etc. I was put on 250mg of seroquil to sleep and augment ocd, and for a year and a half my mood was stable and I felt good. They therapists thought it was aa and dbt and all that crap, but it was the seroquil. I went off of it and wanted to commit suicide, I did not see a future in life, even with a 5 year old and 3 year old. I'm broker now and my wifes family supports us, I lost everything. I got a new psyc and when he diagnosed me as bi polar, all the behavior made sense to my wife and I. For me the diagnosis was life changing and explains so much for me. I'm terribly angry at the therapists for not seeing any of this, I could have been saved from total disaster if I was on lithium and seroquil two years ago, but it did not happen. If you are bi polar the diagnosis will make sense to you, I think. Don't worry about therapists, or psycs that misdiagnose you, its just a problem, some people are not good at what they do.
