No, it's not the medication I take since you can donate while taking lamotrigine and gabapentine. It's because of the diagnosis, they told me I can't until I am 'sane'.

I am mad right now, it's discrimination.

That stinks! I wonder though if it could be because the blood loss would effect you negatively due to your condition. I'm not sure, just a thought.
Thanks for this!
