I was diagnosed as bp2 a few years ago, but I've always been in denial about it. In January, I had a huge break down that put me in the hospital for a week. That opened my eyes to the state I was in and what I was putting my family through. Since then I've been taking my medication fairly regularly, but I'm still have trouble. A couple of times since January I have bad swings that help me go over the edge. These swings always make me feel crazy.

For those of you that have or have had a hard time coming to terms with your diagnosis, how did you get through it?
