Right there with you. Mis DXD at 21, then again at 28 when I quit using alcohol to self medicate. I was put on a anti depressant which let my Hypo-Mania fly. Had my first DXD full blown mania at 43, I am now 60. I take my meds exactly as perscribed, have them adjusted 3 or 4 times a year. Today I am well educated on the disease, but yes it has progressed and continues too. My main focus is on acceptance and gratitude for what I can still do.
