I was appreciative of the first group of MDD, GAD, and PTSD, and a few years later even relieved by the Avoidant Personality Disorder tag from a new therapist. I didn't anything about any of them, and they fit my experiences. But between those diagnoses came one pdoc who, after less than 15 minutes with me, was firm on Bipolar II. I hated it. A lot of fear and confusion came out. Current T seems annoyed by how disturbed I am by that label, but I am still struggling to shake the self-loathing and denial, especially since no one wants to completely rule it out.
