Hi :)
I'd ask your Dr and counsellor to write a letter to the psych you're going to see if they're not doing that already, to explain whats going on for you. That way you might not be repeating yourself so much. Writing down questions to ask and points you want to bring up is a really good idea too :) They'll probably just ask you things you've been asked before to be honest, so don't worry that it'll be anything scary.
Medication wise, the first thing they normally try you on for bipolar is lithium, it's meant to be pretty good but you need regular blood tests while you take it as there needs to be a certain level of it in your blood for it to work.
If you get a proper diagnosis it might help with your therapy too as they'll have a clearer picture of what you're going through which will make it easier for them to help you.
It sounds like you're going the right way about things and I'm glad you're getting some professional support for this, hope things start getting better for you soon!
Take care :)
