Do you have it? Not even the best psychiatrist could really tell you on a forum (you may already understand that). If you've ever had a chance to see the DSM-IV or V you'll see how big it is. There's a lot of overlap between disorders, so differential diagnosis would be needed from someone who can sit down and talk to you face-to-face.
It sounds like this is affecting your life enough to warrant actually doing that if you so desire. Getting a diagnosis from a qualified professional, I mean.

Thanks for the reply. Frankly though, I'm tired of dealing with psychologists/psychiatrists. They either just want to give you medication or after quite a few sessions already paid for, it turns out they can't help you due to not having the right qualifications or they don't have time for regular enough appointments or I just don't mesh well with them, etc. I am also skeptical about psychotherapy being efficient especially at the price it comes at for one hour of talking. It's a really really inefficient use of time. Surely there are other options?
