Also, I feel very guilty and often perceive my state as weakness, laziness and generally not a legitimate illness. Now I just feel like the doctors themselves said there's nothing wrong with me.

Please don't feel weak or lazy or any of those things. I think diagnoses can be really useful, but I think one problem is what you're experiencing here. If we don't get one, or the "right" one, we feel we have failed in some way or have some character flaw. But it really does not sound like this is the case in your situation! It sounds like you are honestly struggling with some serious issues. Please don't beat yourself up about this.
