Diagnosising Mood Disorders - Is It Really THAT Hard?

As a 21 year old who has recently been re-diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder after 6 years of living as a person with Bipolar Disorder, and all the accompanying medications, I have to say I am not that happy.
Right now I feel like a hypochondriacs worst nightmare (or perhaps their secret dream?) with my many changing disorders. The cures just add to my problems, as the side-effects are really terrible - 100 lbs of weight gain, hives, anger; I think you get the idea.

I don't care that doctors needed time to establish a clinical history. Why give me such powerful drugs then? There are always alternatives.
I feel like they cut me open and cracked my self. Not myself, my SELF. You know, your person. It has hairline cracks threatening its well-being.
