@Melpomene yeah and that's why I have written it because it should be talked about because the more we talk about it, the more we break the stigma because its ok to not be ok.
I am on Olanzapine. It is the right treatment and it works for me. The hyperness? I want it. I need it. Without it? Its not me. How do we separate the personality from the illness?
Its a question I thought about, but it is a difficult one to answer. At least I'm not psychotic right now. :)
And as for the negative people, some may just be realist and their heart is in the right place but on the otherside of it, you have people that are just controlling, manipulative and just toxic.

@AndrewC1993 Yes but that's not what I meant. It's not always appropriate to talk about it.
What's the difference between having and not having a treatment. I agree it shouldn't make a drastic difference between real personality and illness treated one but what's the point if you're still very much hyper? Also, how would you know if it's working the right way or not?
I was a toxic person too and what really pushed me back to the good side was help from a dear person. She could've just left me like everyone else but instead she reached out.

@Melpomene And for you, she was your light. And yeah I agree, you'd have to be willing but I'd always stress the importance of sharing especially to someone who ain't gonna judge.
And I like the hyperness, its that energy I need for creative work. I was on other meds that might as well made me clinically depressed, high dose. Depakote, it made me horrible, I couldn't cry at the movies at a really sad part and I hated not being in touch with my emotions. I didn't feel human and I felt like a zombie and I didn't get much enjoyment out of things I would have normally liked, but on a certain level that I am on now?
I can and its so me!

@PainfulTruth You don't, but there are those that do. All genders, all ages, not just "teen chicks".

@Keepitsimple Not in that way. I've seen a couple of men write a full sentence and then add 3+ emojis at the end... Wouldn't 1 or 2 be enough? Though I've also seen those that'd write a sentence and then use emojis to also "write" the same sentence...

@SW-User From my perspective, it wasn't really funny. Here's my punchline, look more into shit before you make a joke about it. :)

I was unaware emoji use was gender related 😎

@SW-User 🤔 Would increase of female hormones really have an impact on someone's happiness? Because I don't see that happening in women
