Welcome to PC!! So glad you are here. I have Bipolar Disorder Type 1. Diagnosed at 40, but felt its effects as early as elementary school. Was angry that my parents didnt see that there was something wrong and get me help as a child, angry that I had to drag myself to a psychiatrist as an adult at the worst stage of the illness to get help, angry that it took the Drs so long to find a coctail of meds that worked, angry at all the side effects from the medications, but relieved to know that I had a disorder and that it was not all in my head, well I guess it is all in my head, but you know what I mean

. I believe we grieve just like anyone else diagnosed with a devastating illness, and part of that grieving process is anger. You just have to give yourself time to work through it. You will find lots of support here.
