Oh, I hear you on the "just anxiety" bit. In the HOSPITAL!! I heard that all the time. "No one has ever died from a panic attack." "It's just a panic attack. Go back to sleep." Morons. Absolute morons.
I'm living proof it can wreck lives.
I really hope the clinic can help you. I hope my salvation is on its way too.
I think the doctors put aside the BP dx. The thought was that maybe when I was "manic" that was why I was anxious. But I have full blown panic attacks brought on by the usual triggers so it seems unlikely to be BP. I've had every dx too, short of schizophrenia and the other thought disorders. They even threw in a few personality disorders. I'm borderline? Okay. Well, I've never cut myself in my life or had the slightest desire to. I know who I am. I don't feel empty; I just feel anxious.
I'm not doing well today and haven't called my doctor. I just need a day to wallow I think.
I haven't seen any posts by Jedi but I will look for them.
Thinking of you too. Hope we get our answers and much needed relief.
