In my 30s. I was diagnosed 8 yrs ago after coming off of a pretty intense high that lasted for about a month. It left me with this strange obsession with my boss which caused me to do some illegal stuff I won't spell out. Anyway I ended up crashing. After my mom died I started having these vicious mood swings where I am on top of the world and within an hr I can be Bauling my eyes out holding a box knife trying to get up the courage to get it over with. this started almost four years ago.
