He seems to think you have both BPD and BP II but prescribed nothing for the BP and did not refer you to therapy for the BPD (and his comment on the referral is just incomprehensible).
I'd strongly suggest you find another pdoc, and this time be fully honest about what you're experiencing. What is precipitating the moods and behavior is going to play a big role in the diagnosis and treatment (which you shared here, but maybe didn't fully with the pdoc, though I can understand if you didn't feel comfortable being entirely forthcoming with this guy).
The important thing is that you get the right treatment and sharing all of this will be essential in receiving the treatment you need. I can understand that you're afraid of being judged, but pdocs are used to this and if you get a good one they shouldn't be judgmental at all. I'm sorry you got such a dud and hope you can find a good one soon. Good luck!
