New DX's For Me .........

Well I had a session with dr #1 today. We went through some more questioning and at this point he is leaning on BPD, GAD & a milder form of PSTD. The only thing that makes it milder is that I am not haunted, for lack of a better word, by the memories but they disturb me greatly in the other ways that are associated with PSTD. He is still thinking BP is very unlikely even though there a few things that are classic such a racing thoughts but there aren't enough markers to warrant that dx as of right now. It may come back as we dig deeper.
I've also told him about Jane and so he gave me some names of psychiatrists that I will try calling in the morning. He also told me that in his experience it is very rare for a dr to rx lamictal in combination with lithium. Normally that isn't seen.
I've heard nothing back from Jane and I left her a message last night. If I hear nothing I'll leave her another and so help me if I have to call her a 3rd time.
We really like dr #1 so we are going to stick with him. For the time being I am also going to put off the psychiatric testing. I'll do it later if it seems necessary but right now we're on a very good track. I'm very happy with the way things are going.

Danielle,
What do you really think about that? IMO you got what you have been looking for and now you can move on with that.
Let us know what happens when Jane calls you (if she calls)
HUGS!
I'm not the least bit surprised by the dx, they are where I started with my first therapist minus the BPD.
Hope you can get things straight w/ the ER stuff, they are such a pain.
Now I'm on the hunt for a psychiatrist, Wish me luck

Thank you so much : )
I talked to Jane last night and it went better than I thought it would. Easier would be the word I'm looking for. She told me if I ever needed anything not to hesitate.
Now the psychiatrist hunt begins. Waiting to hear from one to see if he'll even see me even though he is taking new patients. He evaluates the situation before accepting. The receptionist said it'd be 4 - 5 weeks before I saw him but that I expected

Hi Heather,
I'm happy with the way things are going. I'm debating the test on Thursday, Brian said that he doesn't think it's necessary at this point but dh says I should go. It's 4 hrs of intense questioning, I'll be so worn out.
