Mine's only gotten worse with age. Looking back I can see that's it's always been there, but it wasn't until I was 21 that it sharply got worse. By the time I realized I had something abnormal going on my depressions were everything-but-suicidal, the "oh god please just let me die - no really, I mean it" stuff, and the mania was getting into some blurred reality delusions.

Now, I'd say I go from "got poor sleep and haven't had my coffee yet" to "I'm at an exciting party and had three energy drinks" though, there are a lot of subtleties like my anxiety levels and temperament that seem to cycle independently.
