Is it psychosis, bipolar, OCD, anxiety, autism, depression, schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, borderline personality disorder......? they dont have a clue, but they wont actually say that. They wont make a diagnosis in case they're wrong, but they wont say that they cant help me. I'm just drifting along, getting worse, going crazy in the arms of their theoretical support. I just want to know whats wrong with me, is this normal?

is it normal to want to know whats wrong...sure is.
is it normal for treatment providers to not be sure of what a persons diagnosis is...sure it is. for some people it takes as many as 20 or 30 yrs to get the right diagnosis because many mental and physical health problems share the same symptoms and responds different ways to treatment options.. as each mental or physical health issue gets ruled in or out it brings the treatment providers closer to what the true diagnosis is.
is it normal for treatment providers to not say which mental disorder a person has or that they are not sure...sure it is.. most treatment providers dont want to lock a person in to a diagnosis if they are not sure and they know that with some people it does more harm then good to say well we dont know what to tell you.. because some people may see that as saying we dont believe you have this problem or that one. they would rather err on the side of caution and continue working to figure out what the person has even if it takes years to unravel all the symptoms problems and rule out hundreds of possibilities and eventually arrive at the correct diagnosis.
my suggestion continue working with your treatment providers. and some day you will have the diagnosis of what is going on inside you.
