Hi:
I can NOT be sure, ... it sounds to me like you've been experiencing VERY 'minor' Bp symptoms after having read all your explantions. The first two/three paragragphs above, you have 'depression,' however, there is also 'hypomania' in the last paragraph. For those two 'comflicted' experiences make you feel 'depression' mixed with anxiety.Concerning your pdoc's hesitation to rx appropriate med./med. combo., ... he/she might need to see more symptoms to surface in order to rx appropriate med./med. combo. Because, as we know, Bp II which has mostly 'depressive' episodes with minor 'manic' symptoms, then your pdoc. might need some more time whether you REALLY have some/little Bp trait.
If you've been developing Bp(very milder form of Bp II), you may need a mood-stabilizer. In my personal experience with Bp II, I did develope Bp symptoms VERY slowly, starting from depression, less manic and 'real' Bp II. Not often, but it takes some time to figure things/problems out accurately. Try to discuss this with your pdoc. at your next appt.
