Thanks so much, and hugs to you all as well. I go back and forth between whether diagnosis helps or not in my case, because while saying "you have this disorder" can point me in exactly the right direction, (much like how I went through physical illness that took years to diagnose before getting the right treatment), labels may be too confining since it isn't "classic bipolar" (if at all). Maybe any info I get that speaks to me, and any medication that works no matter what condition it's usually applied to, such as mood stabilizers, might be enough. Who knows? At this point I'm just debating whether to go through the headache of finding another doctor to see about a second opinion versus just rolling with it.
