Courtney:
Your symptoms don't really describe very clearly either manic or hypomanic episodes. What I read into what you wrote is a depressive disorder with some type of anxiety aspect.
I wouldn't encourage a doc to dx BP under the circumstances you describe. Major depressive disorder, probably. GAD probably. BP doubtful. You want to make sure that you're not wrongly dx'd as BP so that you don't go through med regimes that just aren't going to work for you.
