Acceptance is. It an option. I am who I am and that is not changing by a dx. I am still a person that has dreams, strengths, abilities, and desires that have not changed by my dx. Bi polar can stuck at times, but I am learning to work its it and make th best of it. Some days I am good and other days it just sucks. I don't think a bout it to much since it will ring me down and destroy me if I do that. I acknowledge my mood, adjust for it that day and make sure I remember it shall pass and in a pm hour or so I will feel another look that could be better. I used to take all those tests and question everything. It is to worth it and only drives negative thinking, Not sure this helps anyone, but that is what I think.
