I have just recently been " diagnosed" with Bi Polar I .. I can see where I have had it probably all my life. When I first told my husband he said something like " doctors have to label everyone so they can bill enormous amounts " I of course was really upset by his reaction.. but since then he apparently did some research and realizes that i do in fact fit alot of the symptoms. He no longer doubts my diagnosis he just has problems with my SI and he just is unable to talk to me about it ..but I am grateful that he is willing to " try" and be understanding.

The few other people I have told have been supportive ... only 1 person has "Blown me off" but thats ok ... times like this I have learned is when you find out who is really a friend and who isnt.

I guess the only advice I can give is Keep your chin up.
Wishing you peace and love<3
