Bi-Polar vs Post-traumatic stress?

Now, a psychiatrist who checked me up told me she didn't agree with the bi-polar dx, but agreed with the PTSD. I'm just the slightest bit confused, and it's beginning to affect my mood. Anyone ever had this experience? I'm not sure what (if anything) I should do about it. The psychiatrist told me in a very understandable way why she thought as she thinks, I have no trouble with her; I just feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me.

fish oil seems to take the edge off me for some reason. Although not a complete answer; if it helps it helps???
