I would ask the doc to tell you why he diagnosed you with this and what symptoms he saw either in person or through the questions that indicated this type of diagnosis. They might have accidentally confused you, they might have seen subtle signs during your visit, they might have detected a pattern in your answers or yes, they might just be a quack and slapping a diagnosis on you that doesn't fit.

I have this. One of the big symptoms for me anyway is the constant feeling of impending doom. Especially if things are going okay or even well. I can't really enjoy the feeling, because I'm just waiting for the something horrible that I am sure is right around the corner. I also worry constantly and obsess about small things (or large things) that are problems even when I know I can fix them (usually have insomnia sitting up the entire night until I am able to take care of the issue when people are actually awake, but that doesn't allow me to sleep because what if I can't get a hold of the person I need to fix it in the morning? Sigh.) Or worry about things that might happen and have a much higher probability that they won't. And no matter how easy things are to fix, or how logical I can be telling myself that things are always going to happen and being happy is possible even with things occasionally happening, I can't stop the worry. It's exhausting and demoralizing and depressing. So I stay in a constant low grade state of worry and depression unless I forget to worry sometimes - it is happening more frequently now (discovered exercise works for anxiety/depression for me), but if there is any chance you have anything remotely like this, it may be good to work with a doc to get out from under it before it takes over.

And feeling like you have constant bad luck can be another symptom of this disorder. Just mentioning.

Without knowing what exactly they saw, you can't know whether this is a possible or if they're wrong either through mistaken identity or outright misdiagnosis.
