It was easier to accept the diagnosis after I learned some coping skills and wasn’t so off kilter all the time. Also easier once meds started helping, which for me happened once I stopped the ADs. It was hard to accept when my life was a mess because I resented the illness and ranted and raved against it. Often doing the very things that exacerbated it.
