I found my DX so difficult to digest that i ignored it for 10 years. During that period i managed to make a mess of my life. At the beginning of this year I decided that it was time to do something about it (on the coat tails of my worst depression). I have been going to therapy, taking my meds (though I still struggle with that), but have accepted the DX and know what happens to me when i ignore it. So YES, I struggled with the DX to the point where i could not face it...now I feel at peace (for now) with it and like knowledge is the best way to help myself navigate life.
