Thelema,

Is it possible that you have both? Lots of us, in fact maybe even most of us, have more than one diagnosis that may or may not be related. Another possibility is that you may have presented your symptoms differently between one and the next.

I've gotten various different opinions and diagnoses from the different therapists and counselors I have gone to, ranging from homesickness to dependent and avoidant personality disorders to major depression, dysthymic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, and finally one therapist asked me if I might be bipolar. There is quite a range in there. Some of it reflects changes over time, or what I was able to or wanted to talk about at that particular time, etc. I think there was some validity at least to most of those (except the one who said I was just homesick).

p.s. I'm not sure how much your diagnosis actually matters anyway - what is important is that you are getting treatment that helps you to function better and get more out of life. We are all individuals and are all different, even if we have identical diagnoses. We're also all people, and as such we are more alike than we are different.
