I have followed along on everyone of your threads , you seem to be chasing after all kinds of medical diagnosis's. Sure people want to nail down the exact slot they fit in. Everyone is unique my BP is nothing like someone elses bipolar.
Sure there is criteria that Pdocs follow to diagnose a patient , but that often takes months , many Pdocs like to take there time , really get to know you. Do you see a Therapist? If not you should look into it, Therapy is a great way to figure things out , learn about yourself, make goals, improve yourself.
If you going through Pdoc after pdoc and not happy with there diagnosis , why not try just addressing the problems, learn coping skills, focus on learning ways to self sooth, self ground when your unsure of whether your having hallucinations, work on finding a routine for your day to day life, Do you work? Do you have hobbies? What are you doing to improve your life , regardless of whatever label your wanting and chasing.
Just somethings you might consider.

I have gone through so many Psych's because they usually just leave for some reason or the other. It has nothing to do with me. The permanent doctors just don't seem to stay there very long for some reason. They are constantly having to find new ones. Currently I have a Temp Psych because my Permanent Psych left for some reason that I don't remember. I think it was something to do with his family or something.
I am Mentally Disabled according to the SSA so I currently receive SSDI. And yes I have hobbies. I like to surf Facebook. I like reading (I prefer E-books and now that I own a Kindle that's a lot easier). I go to Support Groups for people with Mental Illness. One of them is every Tuesday and it's called New Dawn and it's for people with any mental Illness. The other is every Wednesday and it's called Bipolar Bears and as the first word in that name says it's for people who are Bipolar or with Depression. And I believe being able to socialize with other people like me is helping me grow and be a better person and improve my life.
Oh and by the way, my fiance thinks I am actually Bipolar type 1. He has studied 2 years of Psychology too by the way.
