Yes I suffer still even after 18 years of treatment and strong medication
I am very good about consistently taking my meds at the same time everyday and yet I still have mania and depressive episodes
Mostly mania
It sucks

Yes. I have bipolar II disorder. I've been taking medication for years, which is the only way to control it. I see a psychiatrist monthly too, so she can evaluate my state.

Sometimes I get a little up, and have to increase my medication dose. It's rare. But it has to be monitored by a medical professional and yourself.

you're a red flag. Women with their fluctuating emotions is bad enough

@Gaylordslav I'm no red flag. My condition is controlled and has been for decades. It's like having a seizure disorder or diabetes. There are medications to manage such conditions.

I have a regular outside job, maintain my home, take care of the apartment I rent and the grounds around my home: all on my own. I've painted my own home, change my automobile oil, about to have a book published.

Don't know what women you're dealing with, but my emotions aren't "fluctuating." Very even tempered and thoughtful person.

There are those who aren't. But doesn't have to do with being male or female, or having some issue they need medication for. As long as you MANAGE your life, and take care of your health, you can live a positive, sensible life.

However, there are many who do NOT take care of their health and live negative, foolish lives and never get help for difficulties. THOSE are the real red flags. Regards to you.

@Gaylordslav OK. Your choice to believe this. My friends, family, employers and the like know I am an asset to them. Good luck with your misapprehensions.

I haven't experienced mania or a manic episode myself. However, I do understand the importance of mental well-being and seeking professional help when needed. If you or someone you know is experiencing such symptoms, reaching out to a mental health professional can provide the support and guidance necessary. Taking care of mental health is just as important as physical health. ❤️

I used to have severe panic attacks, but that was a long time ago.
