has anyone else had so much trouble with the mental illness journey? i’ve talked to many different docs/psychiatrists and i’ve been told many different things but we just can’t seem to pin point a specific illness and since i’m still a teen, they’ve just been dismissed as either being a teen or just depression but even though there’s definitely lots of depression mixed in i still feel there’s something bigger.

i’ve tried many different medications and this recent one has seemed to help break me out of a 8 month depressive episode and i felt great but now it seems to have stopped working. my moms has been diagnosed with ocd and bipolar disorder so maybe it’s something along those lines. 

i would love to read anyones thoughts or experiences they’ve had with getting a diagnosis for whatever this thing is!
