I have to becareful when I go to court because the referee is critical and judgemental of mental problems. Its also hard to explain it to my children or try to keep my moods away from them.

I can kinda relate to you. What's funny I thought I had ADD/ADHD. So I was shocked when I was told BP but I knew damn well it wasn't depression (not anymore). I have a six year old. I try not to argue and get mad at her. I usually tell that I don't feel well and need a time out. I tell her we'll talk abt certain things later (if its something that frustrates me). I go to court too and in my city it's pretty good. I submitted a disability accommodation request and its good for anytime I go to court. I went to court two weeks ago and the judge was very patient with me. I had to step out the court room and take a deep breath. I'm going to learn to accept my dx and how to live with it.
