Default in need of relief,

Well, I feel as though I should share my situation so that perhaps some people out there have any suggestions.

At the moment I feel incredibly confused, and have quite a bit of pain, which seems to reside on the left side of my head. My emotions at the moment are very desperate and I feel I just need relief from both the psychiatric / cognitive symptoms and the pain.
In September I was tentatively diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy, yet further tests with my neurologist seem to say otherwise. I feel as though if I had the proper diagnosis it would be immensely better for diagnosis rather than shooting in the dark. I want desperately to feel better, I feel as though I am sinking in my own neurological mess. Financially things have been desperate for close to a year, I applied for SSI yet I was turned down for the 4th time. I'm curious as to what the proper diagnosis is, but more than that I really really need some relief and stability I haven't had that in my life for a long time, I've been battling this mess for years and I don't know what to do now, I cannot find a job, and I have terrible trouble staying coherent, things have been dreadful.
If in fact I do have TLE how common are psychiatric symptoms with epilepsy? My deja vu spells only occur once in a great while yet the so called interictal or confused states are ever present. If anybody out there experiences strong cognitive or psychiatric symptoms with TLE, what treatment has worked best for you? I don't care if my or the doctor's assumptions of TLE are correct, I simply want to feel some relief.
Thank you for being patient through my slight ranting.
