Hi 👋

I'm so very sorry for what you are going through.

I cried when I first learned that I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I didn't want it either. The Psychiatrist didn't even tell me. I read it in his emailed invoice from our online session.

I saw a different Psychiatrist and he confirmed the diagnosis.

Society likes to use Bipolar as an insult to people who are frustrating them. It's really traumatizing to have it attached to yourself. So, it's understandable that you would want to avoid it. It took me a while to accept it, and I still question it, but deep down, I had suspected it for years before being diagnosed.

It's a very difficult diagnosis to come to terms with.
