I'm very high functioning as well in terms of my illness. I have a lot of insight and awareness as to my cycles, episodes. I know my triggers and what I need to do to keep myself safe and as stable as I can be. I have a very good understanding of BP. I'm high functioning in most areas of my life as well but BP to me, is the most important.
Acceptance is very hard for me. I'm involved with a lot of alternative treatments, as well as meds a T and a pdoc.
There are times everything is working so well together that sure I question my diagnosis but then it rears it's ugly head and I get disappointed all over again.
