Today, I am feeling a bit sad.... Today marks the 2nd anniversary of my diagnosis BP1. 2 years has been so long! It feels like forever. I feel really sad and I want to cry but I haven't. I just don't feel my normal self. Yesterday I had a fab day and today I feel a million times worse. I know, I should be thankful for the diagnosis as well I am so much better now than I was 2 years ago.... But..... I still feel cheated/robbed. Don't know why though. I keep going over in my head what Psychiatry said and how I responded. I saw my CPN on Tuesday, but I didn't say anything as well I was fine.
How do you all cope with your anniversaries? |

I figured out I had BP2 before I went in to be diagnosed so I don't have an anniversary in the same way you do. I can related in the sense of remembering the day my son told me he had cancer--I hate that day!!
Your illness must have been causing problems in your life or you wouldn't have been seeking a diagnosis so try to realize that knowing what's going on is half the battle. Give yourself a chance to grieve, and hopefully tomorrow will be another good day. |

So sorry you're feeling sad Laura
 I dont have a dx anniversary either, only remember it was some timein 2010. I knew for 10yrs something was 'off' or different about me, so I responded very differently to actually being dxd, it gave me hope... I really hope you feel better soon my friend. Maybe you should look at the anniversary from a new perspective,instead of the day you were robbed, it could be the day you got your power. Knowledge is power after all... Just a suggestion

I wanted to be the real me- before diagnosis- when I was manic. Went off meds. Not good. But I get what you mean.
