Welcome to PC! I was recently diagnosed within the last year and I still find it difficult to accept. But I don't let it define me. I was blissfully unaware I was bipolar for 30 years so it's very hard to accept. But I have the right med cocktail for the most part so I try not to think about it.

I have only told my family and 2 close friends and their response was "oh it all makes sense now".
