Angel,
I understand how you feel.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression, boarderline personality disorder, bipolar, bipolar II, and PTSD at different times.If it is any consolation, one of my pscychiatrist once told me not to focus so much on what the diagnosis is but on how to help the problematic symptoms.
It's hard not to focus on the former, because we need to know what we have in order to know how to treat it most effectively (at least for me that is the case). But I think her point is try to focus on the solution rather than the problem (I'm not too good at this!).
Hope that helps!
