I appreciate your post. I'm not really having unnecessary angst about it.

I have been seeing a p-doc for the last 2 1/2 years - unfortunately everytime I bring this up I feel I'm being ignored - he doesn't like labels. I haven't felt his treatment is working. I am currently on Anti-depresents and anti-anxiety medication

My children have been seeing a therapist who I've grown comfortable with. I meet him for me on Saturday and will meet him again in two weeks. My appointment with the new p-doc in the new clinic isn't until 5/7.

Anyway I know the therapist can't prescribe anything, although he thought a mood stabilzer might be better for me...so the wait is on.

As I try to make sense of all of this - I realize your caution about self-diagnosis. Right now I am concerned about being mis-diagnosed. I have provided a personal history through email to my therapist and asked him to pass it on to the p-doc. Hoping this will help a little in getting everyone up to speed so I can get a second opinion.
