      Hello, I have bipolar disorder and my husband has ADHD. I understand how difficult it is, especially being able to accept the bipolar diagnosis. I have been diagnosed for 11years now, and I only recently found the right balance of medication to take that suits me. That's what I hate about having bipolar is the medication, but I have to remind myself that the right balance has really helped me. Over time I have learned to live with my condition, and my experience allows me to be more understanding of my friends who really struggle at times. Sending hugs to you.

      I was diagnosed with Bipolar I yesterday after years of being diagnosed as Bipolar II and it is not settling well with me. I feel like I want to renegotiate my diagnosis, like buying a used car. After I got diagnosed with 1 I cried and was depressed and manic very strongly for 3 years because I had very bad Healthcare. I am sorry you are having a hard time with the diagnosis but I know you will grow to accept it. I just tell myself that it was already there and now I can get help for it. I know the sinking feeling though 😕
