Hey everyone how do you come to learn or accept your diagnosis. Ive been trying to find all day how to not be BP although Ive been told by many people including my doctor that Im Bp. Ill admit to having large swings of highs and lows mostly lows on occasion highs and recently a mixed episode and every test I take check list tells me Im Bp as well. I still plan on talking to my doctor as to why he thinks Im Bp.

Anyway, How do you accept the fact that your bipolar, I know nasty word, but I had to use it at least once. How do you come to accept that what your doctor has said is true? How many of you have questioned it like I have? I only questioned it cause my friend said maybe your not bp which sounded like a great thing. How do you deal with the idea? I wished now I had never been Dx'ed in some ways cause before I could drink, I could be happy without being questioned about it and I could be depressed without people trying to cheer me up.

Let me know how you deal with these things as I need advice. Of course I will ask my pdoc how he came up with that Dx.
thanks
