I was suicidal for the first time at age 11. I know I had ups and downs before in regards to how much I talked - people would tell me at some point to stop talking to much, and then other times they would tell me that I should talk more. So I suppose even younger I probably showed some symptoms.
I don't have a clear memory of my first hypomanias. I never really pay attention to them and when I was younger would have just thought that I was happy.
By the time I was 16, 17, or 18 I had read about bipolar and was like "... that sounds like me". Just went and got diagnosed in June, so at age 28.
