When I was first diagnosed I didn't care. I thought they were wrong anyway. I was diagnosed after zoloft made me hypo. I thought it was a zoloft side effect.

However, January before last I had a mixed/psychotic break episode, and after that I cared! I was so mad! I spent about a month after getting out of the hospital just raging about it, desperately trying to figure out what had happened, and if you can have a manic psychotic episode and not be bipolar.

I was furious.

So anger, denial, that's what I experienced.

Now I'm okay with it. Well, I'm not okay with having this situation obviously, but if I'm not a bipolar I have no idea what's wrong with me, because obviously something is.

So, I understand feeling denial. I think that's probably normal.

Hugs.

It'll get better!
