I find the acceptance part to be tough. Especially when I have, I guess mostly boyfriends tell me I'm fine. Though they say they well don't think I have bi polar yet they get annoyed when I do things like write pages and pages of long emails to them or talk excessively and obsessively about the same thing over and over again, etc. All signs of course of bipolar! Personally I wish THEY would accept it, educate themselves and then support me.

So just want to say congrats (to Leve). I feel I am definitely on the path to acceptance. Especially with a tough psychiatrist who doesn't take my ambivalent crap!
