In some ways it sounds familiar, yes. I think it makes sense that for people who have suffered with depression or bipolar illness since adolescence, a lot of developmental milestones were delayed, a lot of the developmental work of growing up is distorted, obscured, etc. and when the symptoms are finally under control, there is this sudden realization of the time lost and growing up to do.
