I would double-check about not being able to see a therapist and a pdoc at the same time on the NHS --I've heard of people on the NHS have both and it stands to reason.
I know bipolar (and assume BPD) take a long time to diagnose. Bipolar is a very difficult diagnosis to make and the pdoc really needs to take the time (even months) to get to know you and perhaps witness episodes.
As Chris said, Lamictal isn't just prescribed for BP -it's known to be helpful for depression alone.
Now that your anxiety has lessened (from what you said), perhaps you could participate better in therapy. If I were you, I would drop this pdoc and get into therapy. If at some point it seems the therapy isn't enough and you need to see a pdoc, you could get another referral to a different one. Best of luck.
