I am going to be straight up with you.

You know better than this, particularly since you have three diagnosis. Those pdocs are not lying to you. You are simply rationalizing that you must have something else in order to invalidate your BP diagnosis. This is the only reason you think you should be diagnosed differently. So why don’t you be straight up with yourself? This will help you see your situation more clearly. After all, your priority is your mental health, correct? So you have to get this right, and not because you do not like being diagnosed as BP.

You know how many times I have heard something like this here before on PC? You know the saying that if I had a dollar for each time I have seen this, I would have a substantial amount of money in my bank account. You need to think of this realistically. It takes some people years to accept their MI, maybe even more. I am sure there are those people that never accept their diagnosis no matter how many trips to IP. I have seen this here. I think part of this is the nature of being BP. Please try to avoid being such a person. This will not have you waste your time and allow you to get the medical help that you need. This is what you deserve.
