I still have a REALLY hard time accepting my dx.
I did not grow up having problems as a teen. My
BP behavior started at 36. I recently had a third
evaluation and was told the same as the other two,
"you have BP 1". After that I decided I would:
1. continue therapy but make sure I'm getting
the most out of it
2. Continue my meds and get a better pdoc
(mine doesn't return
phone calls).
3 learn what can cause episodes and avoid the things
(I now know is drinking, stress and insomnia).
4. learned what to do if I have an episode (done it).
6. Join a support group (I've done this).
For me I can accept and deal w/ situations better if
I know the possibilities and what I can do
to fight back (manage).
