What kind of doctor is this? Borderline can really only be diagnosed through therapy sessions... Really getting to know you, how you respond to others & form relationships with them. That's probably why BP is your dx as of now -- the mood episodes are what have been paramount, no?
It doesn't matter if your mania is mild, though, or that you typically stick in depression. A lot of people with type 2 or cyclothymia go through that experience... If you can't switch doctors, at least convince him to help you find someone to help your depression. If meds aren't doing anything, you shouldn't have to keep taking them! I'd try to find a therapist. PhD, preferably, as they're qualified to make diagnoses.
