a year and 3 months later.
I still don't think I'm bipolar. I think my manic/hypomanic moods are the person I'm Supposed to be. oh well, enjoying this depression lithium gives me....

This. I was "diagnosed" by a pDoc when I was around 12 and then current T in Sept 2013 (age 25) confirmed again through Millon test - but I feel the exact same way as JP except I refuse to take meds. So far it hasn't hurt anything.

I look back at my high school years and know that's when I first had symptoms. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 41.

Another late-in-lifer here. Looking back, my symptoms started around the age of 6 when there was a huge amount of upheaval going on in my life, but I wasn't diagnosed until age 53.

I was very young when it started, dx'ed two or three times... Didn't believe it until I went off on my boyfriend over complete delusions, making him my faithful not boyfriend.
