I agree with Racer that therapy would be more helpful and more likely to result in lasting changes than a diagnosis and medication alone with problems like this. CBT can be helpful with learning skills in logic, critical thinking and organization. Counselling is usually warmer and more comforting for emotional pain.

I had a domineering and manipulative mother so I'm not unsympathetic to the thorn in your side but I think you're right about needing to learn about how to present yourself properly to people. Medication won't teach you these skills and it's not an illness that can be diagnosed (I'm not saying you don't have a mood disorder in addition to this), this is something you need to talk about to another person face to face, and preferably a professional because things can get messy when you try enlist friends as therapists.
