Would like to know how many others have been diagnosed BP or BPII later in life?

I led a normal life with dips of depression. Last year I had a hypomanic adventure for 3 months. I loved everything and everybody. Got into trouble, drank too much, spent money, tried to save a failing business..lost 15 pounds. Then, I dropped into a dark depression until DR Psych put me on some meds to climb out of the hole. I am working everyday to feel better.

I have no support system, so I am very appreciative for PC...

Hope to hear from someone. THANK YOU.
