He says I was sad yesterday again I don't see it. Why can't I just see it. Why can't I just accept it and move on.
Will I ever be able to accept it and move on or am I doomed. I feel like crying I'm in a tizz. I thought I had it all figured out but I don't.
This is a vent/a cry for help/advice needed....
I know you all hate me on here for being sn attention seeker I get that. But I am not looking for attention. I'm looking for peoples opinions on how they overcame the denial the shame the guilt of being diagnosed with Bipolar.

Maybe I’m in denial still after ten years but I still accept medication [emoji381]. I know I have psychosis that recurs intermittently and it needs to be treated but when it comes to moods I’m not convinced I’m bipolar. I think it’s a diagnosis of convenience because while something is wrong idk what and they don’t know what. From what I recall you also get occasional psychosis…in my case I’m only on antipsychotics which also treat the “bipolar”. Psychosis is dangerous untreated but I’ve never had a dangerous mood in the absence of psychosis therefore I treat the psychosis but there is also a factor of APs helping bipolar so I may have it but it’s treated. I still think I have some sort of medical condition possibly autoimmune but I have no proof of that and until I do, treatment will continue as normal. So you don’t have to accept bipolar so much as the dangerous aspects like psychosis. Accept a small part not the big package and you’ll still be able to get help.
