I was diagnosed last year at age 44 .. Looking back now I can see where BP has affected my whole life. Have I come to terms with it? depends on which day you ask me lol.
I'm still in search of finding a good stable ground to stand on. Do I expect to have many ups and downs in my life? Yes and I think its realistic at least for me to know that this is a illness I will have to manage for life , same as any other illness a person could have.
