Your psychologist can help you with coping strategies.
It took 6 months for my psychiatrist to actually diagnose me and that was because I was on lithium and it was working. Both my shrinks agreed that I had a mood disorder. I had delusions, no sleep, no eat, hallucinations, anxiety and ran amok and ended up in hospital then I came crashing down and ended up in a deep depression for about 2 months until the lithium kicked in. I was on an anti-psychotic this whole time.
So don't know about others symptoms but that was my experience. Hope you get it sorted babe, keep talking about it.......it helps
