Those diagnoses are working diagnoses. All they mean is that that is what they think is the problem they are working on at this time. You're confused. Well, I think they are confused too!! If you feel comfortable here, perhaps this is where you belong.

misty,

the most important thing your doing is continuing treatment. i used to get confused too because i was dxd with ptsd, gad, depression before BP, i was hospitalized and it wasnt until then that i just excepted i might be alot of things but i dont give a crap what ppl think i am or what i think i am anymore. too much a headache

You must have asked questions though.
I only said that because to get a gauge on where you are now.

I just find it odd when people ask questions here that would be solved in a better way directly from the psych/doc.
ESPECIALLY in England or GBR

please keep yourself on this site, if you can--I think you have been helped here and who knows, maybe the doc will flip again and go back to the original diagnosis.

First of all, if you were doing just fine for four years, why in the hell did the new doc change your diagnosis? I don't get that part. You obviously are on the meds you should be and have been successful. If this site is helping you, fuck what you new doc is saying and stay here! We need all the friends we can get!
