well, I actually knew something wasn't quite right back as a teenager. The life that followed was quite turbulent, affecting my ability to work and of course all of my relationships. I was diagnosed bipolar at 45 after checking myself into the hospital. I ignorred the signs for years and today I still am managing the fallout.

Don't let it get to that point. If you think there might be a problem, I urge you to seek help when you are able.
