I feel it getting worse and my poor partner is trying help... ok feel like I'm unleashing everything on her... yeah she does little things wrong but dont all we human? I feel like this condition gets worse the older one gets... anybody know if this has merit? I was told that males in my family go "crazy" around the age on 30... (this is told by my mom and my family is from indigionouse Mexico were in sure they didn't know about bipolar). I've never felt normal but I'm really feeling my grasp loosen in my older age.... uhg.. is it ok for me to ramble like this on here?

Yeah man, tell your story.
I'm not in favor of the age thing. I was way more rowdy and terrible when I was in my third decade. (I forgot how to write twuirtys. That's the drugs.) If anything, you mellow down, at least physically, with age. Even if I wanted to be craizier, I don't have the energy. Take this comment at your own peril.

I enjoyed a period of stability from age nineteen to about 25 and then all of a sudden everything went to hell again. Like you I don’t know if it was age or stress. I was in an extremely stressful job, financially stressed, stressful family situation. The stress continues to this day and I am now 31. I just had a hospitalization in April. I’m hoping it will be my last for awhil but with the way things are going I really don’t know.

For me, it's mostly gotten worse as I got older. But then again, I spent over 10 years misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder, on every antidepressant out there at the time, which triggered a lot of manic type behaviors (overspending, having sex with men I barely knew). It's a matter of perspective too though since I have a bundle of diagnoses. Some, like the eating disorder diagnosis (while definitely not gone) is markedly better. I look & feel healthier. You can't just look at me and know. I don't exercise 4 or 5 hours a day. I'm not missing my menstrual cycles. The panic disorder, well, that comes and goes.
The one thing with the bipolar is the older I get, the more rapidly I seem to cycle and the manic phases are markedly more noticeable. The depressed phases are about the same as I remember since high school though I didn't start on meds for depression until I was also diagnosed with anorexia.
