Absolutely not! I struggled to accept my diagnosis in the beginning, and still come up with every thing in the DSM-5 to diagnose myself with other than BP. With out falter I believe I was misdiagnosed. Even reading this forum and relating to so many experiences I still struggle to believe that I am truly bipolar. And I'm not sure why. I'm not ashamed of my diagnosis, I don't ever talk about it so it's not like I fear social backlash. I just can't believe it.
So no. You are not alone!
