My Journey with Depression and Bipolar Disorder

I was diagnosed with major depression for almost ten years before I was diagnosed as bipolar. Mania was much harder to catch.

Unfortunately that is super common. If the mania doesn't feel bad, we don't think to report it to our doctors.

I have had several anxiety my whole life. I had several miscarriages a few years ago and had post partum psychosis, which an Aunt also experienced when she had children. That led to me getting care, and a preliminary diagnosis of bipolar disorder a few years later. It all feels surreal to me, and I am following the plan of care, but I still don't totally believe the diagnosis. Can any of you relate? If so, does that ever change?
