I have been diagnosed with bipolar II disorder for about 6 months. For a while I thought I was coping with the lifestyle changes and medications and all the rest of the garbage that goes along with the disorder but i recently am realizing that I'm not coping well at all really. I have done a ton of reading, studying, workbooks, therapy, videos, etc. and none of it really has seemed to make much of a difference. I was wondering what some of you did to move from diagnosis through to acceptance and adaptation of the illness into your lives. Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks so much.
