Not looking for a diagnosis or anything, just want to see if anyone has gone through something similar. Basically about a month and a half ago I was diagnosed as type 2 bipolar or maybe cyclothymia and was put on Gabapentin as an off label mood stabilizer, a month went by and the meds didn’t work for me at all and not to get too into it but my psychiatrist I just felt was being generally very mean to me for no reason and I was impatient with continuing Gabapentin, definitely a fault on my part as I should have just stuck with her and keep upping the dose but I made the mistake and am in the process of finding a new psychiatrist. I then saw a psychiatrist through my university who is supposed to only be short term until I find a permanent one outside of the university but basically at that appointment she didn’t say I was or was not bipolar but that meds can have horrible side effects and she wasn’t going to prescribe me anything. She definitely was sort of dropping hints that all of my problems sound like things I should just work through in therapy and I feel like my therapist is also thinking that I might not actually be bipolar (we’ve only had like 3 sessions or so so far) I’ve contacted another psychiatrist but haven’t met with them yet. I guess I’m just wondering if anyone has been misdiagnosed as bipolar but then later found out that they don’t have any mental illness diagnosis at all? If I’m being honest maybe I was just happy for a diagnosis to explain why I am the way I am or maybe just wanted something quick like medicine to help fix my problems. I know it probably sounds dumb i’m just so tired of intake appointments and not understanding how I feel or why I feel the way that I do. Thx for reading me vent
