Has Anyone Been Misdiagnosed with Bipolar 2?

I was diagnosed bipolar 2 back in 2018 and have been re evaluated several times since then. Only had one doctor question the diagnosis with ridiculous reasoning and he just went ahead and treated what he didn't think I had. He didn't want to play with fire by putting someone who might have bipolar on only an antidepressant

I was initially diagnosed with BP2 in 2016. After taking lamictal for three years I decided I was misdiagnosed and stopped taking it. The reason I doubted my diagnosis is that I felt like I didn't have enough hypomania, but I had a ton of anxiety that wasn't being solved with my mood stabilizer. Then three months ago my mental health completely fell apart. I was re-evaluated by a psychiatrist and found to have bipolar 2 with comorbid GAD. Now I'm on lamictal and seroquel. Things are still bumpy but they're starting to even out on the new meds. I did a lot of research this time around on what bipolar 2 is and learned that people with this disorder rarely have hypomania but rather have persistent and cyclic depression. I also learned that hypomania can sometimes seem like severe anxiety; I realized I've been having hypomania all along and didn't realize that's what it was. If you're doubting where you are on the mood spectrum, I highly recommend the book "Bipolar, not so much" by Chris Aiken and James Phelps, or their website psycheducation dot org.
