I vote that I would never date myself.because though I work with therapy and meds for mantain my mentalhealth ;I feel that live with a mirror of myself would be very unpleasant.
I am stable now, I had two years ago my first internation in a psyquatric clinic, very open mind but it was a bad and terrible three months experiencie for me and my family.
Now I feel very deeply that I don t wish to live again that horror.
Beleive in myself and feel I am very intelligent but bipolar disorder goes by the way of some disfunction that its ok if I assume my disorder and take with responsability the meds.

My neurology is beset by Bipolar Disorder II (and therefore ADD of course).
For me, a romantic relationship is an emotionally intense experience. Emotional intensity (my own or that of another) is a predictable trigger of an episode: hypomania progresses to dysphoric psychotic mania, mixed with suicidal depression.
My treatment is effective for sane and sober living (psychiatrist, psychotropic meds, psychotherapist, lifestyle). Currently I am in a phase of BPD called 'euthymia' (a period when BPD symptoms are 'in remission'). BPD is predictably unpredictable, I'm liable to be broadsided at any time.

My live in boyfriend is bipolar and as long as he stays on his meds he is great, recently he had to take a break from them for a while due to changes in his blood work that his doctor didn't like. After about a week he was going back to his old ways which I can't tolerate. Thank goodness for the meds or we would NEVER make it!!!

I am the only one of a four-person family who is NOT bipolar! And all the three of them are wonderful people!
