I totally feel you, Jeffro, as this is very much the same with me. I am just hoping for it to clear sooner than later, as depression is not conducive to my work. But the mania is! lol
Poptart- I feel ya, too... I just wish it was clearly laid out and the plan to help was obvious... guess not, in this field of work

I think, however, no matter the diagnosis, the symptoms are very close for scizoaffective-bipolar-BPD... almost the same in many ways, so I think it is hard for the pdocs to get it right in the beginning of treatment. You would think that after some months, thought, that they could pin-point it a little bit better.
Update - Had some good days last week, but a trigger pushed me back in to depression. Been stuck there for nearly a week. My ADs must still need more time, or it is time to try something different. Have another week before my next appointment, I cannot wait, as I trust my pdoc so much, she is the best!
