that said I can take a guess based on information that you have posted about yourself.... you have hypochondria.

this causes people to feel like they have problems that they dont have and to blow what they do have out of proportion.

maybe she is trying to make it so that you will settle down and accept you are how ever you are and not worry so much about diagnosis's, labeling and trying to fit yourself into diagnosis and labels.

whether or not someone is diagnosed with something or not does not change the problems that they have, it doesnt change their symptoms or even understanding all the things about a mental disorder.

all getting a diagnosis is, is throwing a bunch of symptoms together and naming them...

kind of like every cat with out a tail is called manx or every dog of a certain breed with a smushed nose and wringles are called pugs, being called these names doesnt change the fact that one pug can have digestive problems and another not have digenstive problems, one manx cat may have bone problems and other may not,

all being diagnosed says is that you have met "diagnostic criteria set by the APA" it doesnt say what kind of person you are or what your own individual problems are or even what treatments will work for you.

all it does is name what diagnostic criteria the American psychiatric association says a person has to meet in order to be called this or that disorder.

maybe your therapists are doing what millions of treatment providers around the USA are now doing.... moving away from having a mental disorder name define who a person is, and instead working with them on their problems not as a disorder.

Your treatment providers have already told you what your disorders are called according to your past posts, so now its time to move beyond looking for disorder names and work on your own problems, how your problems affect your life instead of focusing on disorder names...

mind you all this is guesswork based on your past posts. to actually get your answers to your questions you will need to ask your treatment providers why they are not talking with you in frames of disorder names and labels any more. Why they are not giving you their own opinions about what disorders you have.
