Thats exactly the same as me.
I tried to kill myself when i was 10! So luckily for me, when i got diagnosed with depression at 19, my doc was able to look back through my notes and basically see that i had cycling depression, she referred me to the right team and now at 21 i've just been diagnosed with Bipolar.
