I mean it was definitely chaotic in my 20s. First because I wasn't diagnosed properly. But once I did have a diagnosis I was either not med compliant, or my cocktail wasn't right and I still had crazy swings. Once I got into my 30s, things even out a bit because I was more knowledgeable about bipolar disorder and what to look for before things got out of hand and/or I knew when to seek help. Who knows what my 40s will hold.
