I'm having a lot of trouble finding a therapist in my area who can work with me. I've received a lot of different diagnoses from different doctors who just can't seem to agree- bipolar, depressive schizoaffective, generalized anxiety, major depression, avoidant personality, borderline personality. I had one suggest partial epilepsy but the expert I saw didn't think it was that likely either. The only thing anyone can agree on is that I have atypical, "weird" symptoms. None of the therapists I've seen have really known what to do with me.

I've gotten to the point where it feels like there is no answer and no treatment and I'm honestly ready to give in. I'm coming down from some kind of bizarre day long episode and I know that I really need to find someone to talk to but I'm at a loss for where to look or what specialties to look for. Most of the people in my area treat for stress and anxiety, they don't really get into the other mental illnesses as much.

How do I find someone who specializes in what I have when I don't know what it is?
