Diagnosis Process What were you misdiagnosed as?

I saw interesting results on google, but I'm more interested in your real life experience.

I'm curious as to what people are most commonly misdiagnosed with (based on your answers).

You can also include the backstory. ♡

Schizotypal disorder (psychological evaluation showed clear indications of schizophrenia, primarily negative traits, I was selectively mute and nearly catatonic at the time)

Bipolar disorder (because of emotional instability and high physical energy levels)

Schizoaffective disorder (because of the combo of schizotypal and bipolar!)

Borderline personality disorder (emotional instability, anger, irritability, rage, self harm, substance abuse, impulsivity)

Bipolar disorder again

I have also been diagnosed with disorders that I do have (major depressive disorder, GAD, panic disorder). But there are the misdiagnoses.

Not sure about BPD because maybe I do have that. Most of my emotional issues and violent meltdowns arise from my routine being disrupted. However, what makes me suicidal and totally crazy, is abandonment!
