HA, ya right!!! Dx 3 yrs ago and still not accepting it.

Mine came as a huge shock. I was always "moody" in high school but could never really be classified as depressed or manic. Was the same when I started college. Then enlisted in the air force. Huge nasty shock of going through most of basic training, being put on medical hold for chest pains, spending a month in the med hold dorms, dx with asthma and medically discharged.

That messed me up big time. As my pdoc as explained it to me, I was genetically predisposed (some cousins have bp but no immediate relatives do) but an environmental factor triggered it. Big load of crap is what I think.

Anyways, its 3 years later, I have all the symptoms and the meds are working, well they kinda work (a whole other rant) But I still dont want to accept it. Lets just say Im working on it.
