Man, I know how you feel. Moodwise, I have the same issues. Medwise, I have very similar issues. I think it's extremely frustrating. Pdocs have a much bigger arsenal than even 10 years ago, but for some of us in the "fringe", they are still shooting in the dark, just with bigger guns.
Just to relate, it's easy for me to lose perspective, then I think about what psychiatry was like even in the last century. Deliberately induced insulin comas, ice baths, clueless shock therapy, lobotomies, starvation, unneccesary hospitalization, subhuman living conditions, etc.
When I think about that, I resent the modern medicine issue a little less. sure it sucks. Nobody has concrete answers on the brain's hows or whys. But if medicine keeps advancing at it's current rate, then there may be hope for ones like us.
Take care
