e.g., My bipolar is about 95% controlled right now. The other 5% is me having some anxious breakthroughs. (I consider anxiety to be a part of bipolar.)

God if I'm honest under 30% controlled if not lower. I'm on/off my meds so much I don't know what's stability and what's a lull in the mania. Like now I feel great mentally but it could be the fact I'm missing dosages of meds who knows.

100% controlled, part medicine, part lifestyle and low stress

Wow. 95-100 percent. Amazing.
I am not manic or psychotic, finally. Depression is about a 7 out of 10 today. Really rough. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

80%.
I still talk (shout) out loud to change what I'm thinking, or remembering, which is worse. 70 years of memories. Most of them bad. I sometimes think I never did anything right. At least, I don't remember those times. OK, 75%. Cheers. __________________ ]Roses are red. Violets are blue.[ Look for the positive in the negative. PIRILON.

I would say my bipolar is about 90 percent controlled. I still suffer from occasional depression but nothing too serious.

I'd have to stay 50-60% at this point. I'm having a rough patch.

I guess I’m lucky enough to say 75-%. It could be better. I am a anxious wreck lately. And still feel bugs crawling but hey not depressed or manic!

I’m currently stable so I would say 100% controlled. Although I would say that I’m stable on a slightly low mood.
My anxiety on the other hand is through the roof. __________________ Pookyl ———————————————————————————— BP1, GAD, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Claustrophobia Psych meds: Saphris, Seroquel XR, regular Seroquel. PRN Diazepam and Zopiclone |

Maybe max 30 %, I've been sleeping a lot lately . One reason I suspect is my body clock could be out of kilter. Specifically I get up in the middle of the night to surf the net, especially watching top ten amazing videos.

I would say at least 90% controlled. This is the result of both lifestyle and medication.

I don't know what percentage, but definitely not much. I feel like I have no control over my episodes at all, and medication-wise I don't really know what we're doing anymore, it's like we're on a wild goose chase to try and find the right meds.

I've been at 90% for a while now, which makes me happy. That is my 100%. I've never known absolute normal. Even as a kid.
For the most part at this point in my life, I know how to moderate that pesky 10%. |

95% stable. Mostly attributable to medication, much to work in therapy.
If I de-stabilize it would likely be due to extreme anxiety and rumination, or loss of contact with my therapist. Mostly, stability is upsides. The only downside is a feeling of flatness. __________________ |

not that controlled
I'm the first to admit: I am not good at controling my issues my eating disorder, fibro, anxiety, it's all a giant mess really.. I really need to try better. |

This is almost exactly my situation and how I feel. I guess the last time I felt anywhere around even 80ish percent was about a year ago. Reading all this, I feel like sorta a failure or something. More of a failure, I should say.

Probably about 75% controlled at the moment. I’m having some slightly bad thoughts. Some slight anxiety. But I’m also not as bad as I was the past 4 days.

@bluebicycle I love your discussion prompts!
60% controlled. I still have frequent cycles, but they are not as severe as they used to be 🥳 __________________ Dx: Bipolar Anxiety ADD Meds: Risperidone Tegretol Abilify Zoloft Buspar Adderall [prior meds: lithium, lamictal, cymbalta, ritalin] |

I'd say about 30% under control because I've been really depressed for the past 3 years.
It was closer to 80% before. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Latuda, Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023. I dedicated this photo to my sister who passed away in July 2016. |
