Here is some of my story. I can definitely relate to your frustration. I definitely believe that if I knew ten years ago that I may be bipolar, I may have done things to take better care of myself and protect myself, possibly preventing a major mixed episode 2 and a half years ago and the further progression of my illness.
There is a good chance you fall somewhere under the bipolar spectrum. Though bipolar has probably been over diagnosed since behavior health professionals began to realize there was a wider spectrum for the disorder, there are many that are being properly diagnosed now that were not before. It is still a tricky illness to catch and diagnose so you are definitely not alone.
