just keep talking for now
being diagnosed doesn't change anything....doesn't mean you will suddenly "lose it"
what support do you have?...do you live alone?...with family?...with other people?...
nothing has changed right?...
a diagnosis is meant to be like learning....not losing control.
from what I experience spillcoffee.....fighting mental illness is not so good....but I also understand the urge....best to be gentle....there is nothing wrong with you
that you have been diagnosed bipolar.....means that yesterday and last week likely you were bipolar then and in 2 years time as well likely
it's ok
