does it matter whether he believes in a dx as long as he believes in YOU?
If he is there for you, whether you're up or down, does he have to "accept" that there is something clinically wrong with your brain?
I think Damos said it best- it is too close to home. If he accepts (believes)the dx, he has to accept that there is something in your lives that he can't "fix". A lot of people, myself included, want to be able to "provide tangible help", to "fix", to "be part of". We could never do any of those things for your bi-polarness. Sometimes we need to pretend that it isn't really happening; that we really aren't "useless". It's not because we don't love you- it's BECAUSE we love you...
