Im bp1 27 female and have lived with this since i was 17, i feel like my life is just getting started since ive recognized my diagnosis last year and am on meds and monitoring my symptoms. Ive noticed changes and all but it's still so vague and confusing so me. I don't know how i didn't realize this before. My question is for anyone who is older or who has been monitoring their moods for a long time, how long do you cycle for and what are the in between episodes like? How do you know?
