Looking back, I've had signo of possible bipolar when I was a child. I've been a moody kid. And I used to work really hard at school, then get "sick" and stay at home almost a week where I would feel run down and burned out. I had periods of frantic energy and lethargy.

As I grew into a teen, I experienced my first big depression. Then came the hypersexuality, substance exploration, blowing large amounts of money, impulsive behaviour etc end of highschool/university.

So I guess it's always been there... it just was just more manageable when I was younger because I worked so hard to hide it / and I suppose I looked like any young college kid.
