[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 37813, member: 1514"] I wasnt diagnosed until I was 38 and I have been diagnosed with bipolar 1, borderline personality disorder and ptsd! I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have early onset bipolar. I dont think I have bipolar 1...I believe that bipolar that is manifested in childhood presents differently your entire life. That is just my theory because of how I react with my moods. I tend to react much more like a child with bipolar. I have much more rapid cycling than doctors can believe. I cycle sometimes weekly if not daily. Sometimes several times in the same day. I can look back on my childhood and remember all sorts of incidents where I had problems. When I read the book The Bipolar Child, I thought they had written it about me! That is honestly what gave me the courage to get diagnosed. Before then I was too afraid to admit what was wrong with me and the weird things that I did. I kept them locked up at home and my family protected me. I had the rare outburst in public but people just thought I was strange. [/QUOTE]
