48. Ugh, I hate saying that. BP started in earnest at 20, but not dx'd till....44? (That time frame is a blur of chaos having been misdiagnosed and disasterously mismedicated for a couple years previous.) Why so long till dx? Certainly not for lack of obviousness. HUGE family denial issues and continuing with ex. I didn't know about BP, and assumed they must be right -- that I was just weak-willed, unable to just "get over it", volatile and out of control. Fun times.

Wish it had been addressed far far earlier. Would've saved a whole lot of suffering and regret, not to mention becoming a living example of kindling...

Soooo glad to have found PC. I used to feel so alone in the chaos...
