Hey, guys!

So I have rapid cycling bipolar II disorder, and I'm writing a romance/comedy novel where the main character has the same mental illness. I don't want to base it off just my symptoms, especially since I was diagnosed only two months ago, so here are some questions:

- What symptoms of bipolar II do you guys face while you're on your meds?
- If you're comfortable speaking about it, what have your worst and best/easiest episodes of hypomania and depression been like?
- Since it's a romance novel, I also want to know this: have any of your significant others expressed any extreme positive/negative reactions to your condition? I know some guys think it's 'kinky' to be with a manic girl, ugh.

If you're not comfortable with any of these questions, or if I'm being too forthcoming, please do let me know.

Thanks a ton for reading!
