I know I don't have that many followers so this might not reach as many people as I hope... But please stop using bipolar as an adjective! If your character experiences ups and downs and is moody, say that! Bipolar Disorder is an extremely challenging disorder to live with. Manic and Depressive episodes aren't trendy, cool, or a personality trait. If your character has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and part of their story is diagnosis, coming to terms with it, and learning/living from/with it, thats a different story and I am very grateful you are writing a character who is struggling with something. But do your research, Ask Questions, and don't use a mental illness as a personality. Thanks!
