Basically I've struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember, had an inpatient stay, find it really hard to deal with my emotions, very impulsive, struggle with relationships of all kinds. Whenever I go to a doctor they just prescribe anti Ds but if I actually speak to a mental health professional they say I don't have depression, which I generally agree with but something just isn't right. Or if this is normal, then there's no point in living. I really want to get a diagnosis and I reckon personality disorder is on the right track. I thought I might be bipolar for a while but to be honest I don't ever feel 'high' or happy for long enough so I know it's not that. Has anybody else had a similar diagnosis and how did you go about it? I've spoken to counselling services but they don't diagnose, just give treatment but I think - how can you treat it without knowing what it is? Anyway, I think hearing about some similar experiences would be great
