Well throughout the years I've always had problems sleeping and I would go through deep dark depressions and hypomanias. I'd had my primary Dr tell me that he thought I had bp but I didn't believe him. Then in 2011 I went through a psychosis. Landed in the hospital and was diagnosed with bp I and PTSD. When I think back after I gave birth to my son I couldn't sleep and behaved very strangely. Got really suicidal and was put on a sleep aid. The drs have said that was my first manic episode. So I went untreated for 15 yrs. Very happy I'm medicated now. Don't live with so much anguish...
