Hey, don't worry. I was in denial about my BP diagnosis too. I think it's common for BP people to be in denial, especially when their meds are finally working. That's when they think, "Oh, I'm normal! I'm not BP!"

It's important to recognize that BP exists on a spectrum. No two BP people are alike, with some having it more severe than others.

When I was first put on an antidepressant, I started off with 5mg of Lexapro for 2 weeks. Then when I upped my dose to 10mg, I experienced symptom relief in 2 days. I thought that was normal, but boy was I wrong. lol. That really put it in perspective for me.

Despite all that, I still denied I had BP. I will probably continue to go through periods of acceptance and denial, but I think that's normal for the average BP person. You're not alone.
