constant mystery discharge

Frankly this has been going on for so long. Nothings been able to help. Any advice would be so appreciative. I genuinely just feel so scared that I’ll never be normal again. It’s just such an intense amount everyday. Consistency and color changes sometimes it’s white other times it’s yellow. Sometimes sticky sometimes chunky. I don’t feel like the doctors r helping me & im scared they can’t. (22F)

I went on back to back antibiotics for unrelated things and then in late Feb the discharge began

First, I tested positive for yeast and was treated with oral pills.
Then, I was prescribed antifungal cream because I was so red, but tests came back negative for yeast, BV, and all STIs — yet I still had discharge.
I was then:
Treated for yeast again with an oral pill (without testing)
Treated with nystatin for yeast (without testing)
Still had discharge that did not respond at all and actually got much worse
Finally, I went to the OB-GYN and my swab showed BV but not yeast. I took metronidazole pills for 7 days, but it did not lessen the discharge at all.
Then:
I went back to the gynecologist and all testing, including mycoplasma/ureaplasma, came back negative.

I did boric acid for 8 days and right after had a few normal light discharge days but it eventually came back.

Did boric acid for 8 nights. Had a few normal discharge days! Then it came back …
Despite the negative BV result, my doctor still prescribed metronidazole gel because of how severe the discharge was.
I had 2 days left of the gel and discharge is worse it’s been in weeks. :((

Does anybody know what other testing I should ask for?? I really don’t want to be told this is my normal discharge because frankly it looks sickly and I’m scared. Ive been taking Happy V probiotics for the last 2 months. Btw i haven’t been sexually active. Not much itching and burning but having to wear panty liners everyday just due to the shear amount. It also has a bit of an odor. I have some low risk hpv strains too but i keep being told thats not causing it.
