Awesome question!
Elementary-early middle school: I suffered from anxiety and OCD
Age 13-14: I started having a lot of anxiety/ panic attacks and depression started. Started taking anxiety meds.
15-20: Depression happening more frequently as well as changing moods. Anger and irritability came into the mix. Anxiety and panic attacks still prevalent. Started self-harming.
20-now: Starting when I was around 20 my moods got consistently and significantly worse. They also changed more rapidly. I was under a lot of stress and many other environmental factors definitely made it worse. (Anxiety thankfully got better) I struggled for a couple more years until I finally figured out and got diagnosed with Bipolar II.
