And no I have not told my most recent Psych. Because my most recent Psych was a temporary Psych until they get a permanent one and I have had him before and I do not like him. We butt heads majorly. He never listens to me or my symptoms and he doesn't speak English very well or understand what I am trying to say to him.
Why not try finding a different psych in a different place altogether?

Additionally, what strikes me with all of your responses to everyone is that you seem to feel that Bipolar 2 isn't "good enough," you need to have Bipolar 1. Yet I don't think you have an understanding of either diagnosis.

Let me break it down for you in practical terms: both are not fun. Both are hard to live with. Both require a lifetime of meds. Both will get you the "It's not how you really feel, it's your DX" from some people, which enables them to invalidate your feelings. And both are NOT an excuse for bad behavior. You still need to learn how to control yourself.

You need to find a good therapist and face your real issues. Don't be afraid of that. We all know you're struggling. We all know you're in pain. But it's not a competition here, to see who's got it the worst. Everyone's struggling. That's why we're here. We're here to help and find help, to support and be supported. Sometimes support comes in the form of a hug, and sometimes it comes in the form of the hard truth, but it all comes from a genuine desire to actually help, and not alienate you. We all want to see you get better, Angelwngs. Even though we're perfect strangers, we know some intimate details about you and can't help but care, because we do understand how it feels to struggle. Everyone here struggles.

You just really, really need to stop attacking people every time you ask a question and you don't get the answer you want. All of your behavior right here is screaming BPD, and that's the issue you need to address, because it can really, really make life hard. I know. My co-worker/friend has it. Your behavior is attention-seeking, but when you don't like the type of attention you get, you get hostile.

Angelwngs, if you are just having a bad day, need a hug, feel scared, feel alone, feel stressed, feel alienated, hate yourself, remembering bad times, anything, just say it. Don't be afraid. We're here to listen and give you support. As you can see from this thread. Communicate what you really want, not what you think you want. It will be more fulfilling for you.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
