I was diagnosed in 2010 after a year of suffering from depression/mania begote I was diagnosed with bipolar 1. I saw Psychiatrist in May and then again in Sept due to getting severely manic. Diagnosed in Oct and started meds in Nov.

I argued, cried and refused to accept it all. I still refuse 13 years on. I need to grow up and accept it all. It's just hard accepting your ill huh!
