Were your episodes longer or shorter? How long or short?

Did you have mini episodes and large ones?

Was it mostly depression or mostly (hypo)manic?

Did you cycle within a given episode or was it pretty solidly up or down?

Was it a really bad episodes that made you seek treatment, or the gradual realization?

What effect did your undiagnosed/untreated bipolar have on your family, friends, work life, school life, etc?

Were you on antidepressants? If so, did they make you manic or did they simply poop out on you?
