No one is here to judge you. We're all goin through things very similar to you. We're here to help in any way we can.
Accepting the dx seems to be a tough one for most. At least you know there are resources out there for you to get the help you need now

Even now after 60 plus years of problems, a dozen or so years on & off medications, 2 major suicide attempts, etc. sometimes I still look in the mirror & say to myself: why am I saying these things about myself... I'm not mentally ill... I'm just a normal everyday guy... As I have written a number of times before: For most of my life, if denial were blankets I'd have been crushed by the weight... My best wishes to you James70

I still have a REALLY hard time accepting my dx.
I did not grow up having problems as a teen. My BP behavior started at 36. I recently had a third evaluation and was told the same as the other two, "you have BP 1". After that I decided I would: 1. continue therapy but make sure I'm getting the most out of it 2. Continue my meds and get a better pdoc (mine doesn't return phone calls). 3 learn what can cause episodes and avoid the things (I now know is drinking, stress and insomnia). 4. learned what to do if I have an episode (done it). 6. Join a support group (I've done this). For me I can accept and deal w/ situations better if I know the possibilities and what I can do to fight back (manage).
