I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder after an event which resulted in the loss of half my 401k. I trusted someone who I thought was my friend, which proved to be disastrous for me, and I had a breakdown. Even though I was diagnosed only 10 years ago, I've know all my life that I was "different" than other people. I was always too sensitive and people loved to tease me to get a reaction. I'd could write a book since I realize I am now bipolar. This explains many things about my youth.
