So, there you have it! But meds don't seem to be necessary at this point.

Have you felt doubted? I hope not.

Is the person who has done the testing the one saying meds don't seem necessary? Or is that your pdoc's opinion? Your opinion?
I am wondering if things might settle down for you and might feel more manageable if you tried a mood stabilizer?
I have a BPII diagnosis and for many, many years, I was diagnosed as treatment-resistant MDD. I never thought I would benefit from a mood stabilizer and my pdocs at the time never thought so. Yet, I have seen a different pdoc and she had immediately started a mood stabilizer and I still have some challenges, yet do much, much better than I was without the mood stabilizer.
It would be quite easy to try a mood stabilizer to see if it helps. Many of us use a med called "lamotrigine." It has its pros and cons; yet, I have found it one of the very easiest meds to take and I am incredibly sensitive to meds. We are all different, of course.
I have been reading your thread and have wondered if you just might feel more stability in mood with a mood stabilizer?
just a thought.
