It took me about 9 months to accept it, although sometimes I still have my doubts, especially when I'm depressed. I just think, "none of my BP meds are working to prevent depression. Do I really have BP? Because BP meds should work." (Obviously this logic is poor, but that's what goes through my mind.)

I was diagnosed over 10 years and I still have struggles accepting it. I also feel like it is my fault that I have it. And I can see the logic in thinking you don't have BP because you are still depressed. But maybe you are just on the wrong meds. Plus, every so often I've had to have my Dr. change the meds I am on because they seem to stop working.
