YES! I am still in my 20s, but I feel like I could have been sooo much further in life by now.
On the opposite perspective, I think sometimes (ok, maybe a lot) I use being bipolar as an excuse to myself. Might sound strange, but I look at someone else doing something I wish I could do, and I think "well they probably are more stable, and don't have all these other health issues too." I think that my diagnosis overall just explained what I already knew; I knew I had it years before the dr ever mentioned it. Sometimes it just helps me feel better than I know WHY I struggle so much. If that makes any sense.
