I'm sorry this has been your experience.
Your post may be long, but it's exactly the kind of valuable documentation of your situation a good therapist could use. Please save what you've written above.
Considering that rough handling you got in your schooldays, have you ever been able to see a neurologist? Were you tested for head/brain trauma?
My personal experience has been that once a mental health diagnosis enters the picture, doctors pay excessive attention to it as the source of all one's problems, ignoring other potentially serious causes for symptoms.
