I am 48 and was diagnosed with wrong things in my early 20's and early 30's. It took them a while to see what was actually going on with me. I was diagnosed with BP in my mid-30's.

My family didn't like the fact that I had mental illnesses because of the stigma that went along with it so I didn't get any type of help until my early 20's, but was misdiagnosed.

You are not old. Life begins at 40 because you are wiser and can deal with life's situations better.

I am going to be 50 in 2 years. I hate that fact, but now I notice that I don't let things get to me much anymore, so I am going to embrace 50 when it comes along.
