I wasn't diagnosed until age 43.. But looking back ..

Self harming at age 6, Suicidal by age 9 ... bought new cars yearly , allowing my then 7-9 year daughter to just point to the one she liked ! Going out for pancakes at 3am , just because, Decided to buy a house on a Monday and made an offer on one a few days later and closed in 30 days.. Fast forward 4 years decided on a Friday I was tired of mowing my yard and decided to sell my house and find a cute apartment, My house sold a week after it listed for cash !

Between all the good times I had some really ugly dark times.

Had I been diagnosed way back when.. I would have missed out on some spectacular stuff if I had been snowed under to a drooling zombie.
