Getting super super depressed at age 11, feeling suicidal for no reason. Then at age 12 i had a bizarre experience of feeling sure i would die at 17. And then periods of energy and agitation, and excitement and depression through high school years. But I didn't get any diagnosis til age 19, and that was a depression diagnosis. I wasn't diagnosed bipolar til age 29, despite many years of symptoms.
