I'll chat with them, go over my history of episodes, and try to get something resembling a legit diagnosis.

It's very very complex to really ever get a straight diagnosis. I've been thrown bipolar2, then PTSD, DID, ADHD, BPD, then a more centred change to schizoaffective bipolar1. Because of a similar range of mental issues to yours.
All I can say is don't focus too much on finding a correct diagnosis, it'll just make it all the more complex. I'm sure you will be able to treat them well, with the help of a well informed therapist. You seem like a smart guy, and from the sounds of it you're still holding it all together.
Also, one thing to keep in mind:
There is nothing wrong with you.
Just bare the mental difficulties differently to others. Which is always the case.
Best of luck.
