After my daughter's dad and I split up in January 2011, it started from there. I got depressed, and then everything just got worse. I maybe had some issues before that but I just remember starting binge eating a few weeks after that, becoming depressed and my moods spiraling out of control.
I was depressed since age 12 (before and after a traumatic event, there was a fire in my house and I lost all of my belongings, no one was hurt, but I suffered great guilt after that)

I was showing symptoms for ADHD younger than this, I constantly was violent towards my younger siblings if they wouldn't listen to me. I would growl and hit them.

I became anxious in college (about 6 yrs ago)

It wasn't until March of 2012 that I was diagnosed with Bipolar type II, but I believe I had a manic episode in the middle of college, around age 21-22.
