biIIIies sign, yes, it can be very difficult to get a "proper" diagnosis. 
Depending on where you live, it can take a long time to get an official diagnosis due to various reasons, like long wait times to see a provider. Even once you get an official diagnosis, it may not feel like the right diagnosis.

I have had quite a few different diagnoses over the years. From my interactions with others with mental health challenges, this seems to be very common. Sometimes this is because symptoms overlap. 

If you have a diagnosis but don't feel like it's the right one, don't be afraid to tell your provider. Be open with them about all your symptoms. Feel free to ask questions.

The company my partner works at recently shut down unexpectedly. We are still waiting for unemployment to come but we have 3 dogs that all require special food and medicine. I have some health issues that require several medications to control but I have chosen to stop my medication just to afford bare minimum and keep my animals healthy. I see the stress in my partner and try to comfort him but it only adds to my own stress of being the sole provider with such slim paychecks.

Have you talked to your doctor about options to help save money on your medications? 
Sometimes providers may have samples. They may also be able to prescribe a cheaper medication. Also, sometimes 2 doses of a drug cost the same. For example, I am on something that comes in 7.5 mg & 15 mg. Both cost the same amount per 30 tablets. I take the 15 mg tablets & cut them in half. It's like getting a 60 day supply of the 7.5 mg tablets but cheaper. They may also be able to refer you to a nonprofit that can cover your medications. I used to work at a nonprofit that would pay for people's medications to help prevent them from needing to be hospitalized (which ultimately would cost more than the medication).

My psychiatrist did help me with one of my meds which cut the cost dramatically but the other 2 can't be substituted for some reason. One of my other doctors refuses to write generic prescriptions for some reason, I know its easy to check the generic substitute permitted box on the script pad so idk what their thinking is. I'll have to call the office and see about the nonprofit thing though, thank you for the suggestion

Popurinsu_, I hope you are able to get the help you desire.

If you're not able to get an appointment soon, there may be ways for you to cope in the meantime, like journaling. I have been journaling for 20 years now. 
There are many other coping strategies people use, such as creative writing, meditation, breathing exercises, & support groups.
