Hello Bugs-N-Hugs: Well... I don't know what to tell you about this. I can certainly relate to what you've written here. I've had similar experiences over the years. I've never actually been offered a real diagnosis (seemingly accurate or otherwise) by any of the mental health professionals I've seen over the years. And it has always seemed that it didn't much matter anyway. Because, in the end, all I would get offered were the same old antidepressants. As a result, I now only check in with my pdoc a couple of times a year, just to keep my foot in the door, so to speak. (I'm no longer on any kind of med's.) And I don't see a therapist. My personal feeling is that, in the end, we simply have to take care of ourselves as best we can. So that's what I do.
