Doubt diagnosis

@Rooney2112 Diagnosis often seems to involve some guesswork, and different doctors often have very different opinions.

Are you going to try to get a new diagnosis that matches your situation better? And maybe better medication too? Or do you feel you're better off without medical interventions?

Hello? Past me? Is that you? I was misdiagnosed for years. Hated and mistrusted all drs and meds. So I quit it all: psychiatrists, psychologists, medications - for over 20 years. I won’t tell what happened in between, but finally at 42 when I was sick of the way my life was I am now properly diagnosed (bipolar 1 w/rapid cycles) seeing a psychologist (not the right one - hate him, he’s bout to be dumped but doesn’t know it) and am on meds. Not the right cocktail yet, but we’re working on it. Still hate my meds, but I take them. Still won’t see a psychiatrist. If I bought in sooner I could have saved myself and all of those who love me a lot of trouble. But you know, shoulda, coulda, woulda. At least I’m out here surviving.
