It really bothers me that I could have three or four different things and nobody knows what. I would like to concentrate on symptoms but it's not so easy to piece them out. Am I depressed or ADHD? Do I get DBT or take antipsychotics/mood stabilizers? If I am bipolar, that dictates that I should be on a mood stabilizer but those have just made me worse.
It would be on thing if I'd found anything that worked at all, but I have been through a million meds and eight years of talk therapy and nothing has made a lasting improvement. The suicidal times just get longer and more intense.
Ideally, no, the labels would not matter, but I am at my wits end, I don't know what to do, and I'm sick and frustrated by dealing with my illness with no help because the doctors do not know what it is or what to do.
