I had a really hard time accepting my dx, to the point of convincing myself the convo with my pdoc went differently than it did...but then I started reading about BP and checking stuff out and I was like, yup...that me...

It was hard to tell my dad, because one his best friends was Type 1 (i am type 2), and his friend committed suicide about a decade back...so I think when I told my dad he didn't want to accept it.

I still need to address it with the family...but I think this summer around the campfire, it'd make a good family discussion...as I am sure, upon describing it they will likely agree with my doc.
