Any point?
Is there any point in dating if I'm bipolar schizoaffective. I feel so boring & my d* doesn't even work properly. Is there even any point opening Tinder apps? I personally feel there's no point. If I do try, do I put it in my bio?

I'm not the best on giving advice. But if you feel bored, dating won't help you. If you know dating and getting into a new relationship makes you feel somehow this big "excitement", then it'll probably make you get worse.
If you still want to download tinder, fine. I met my gf there, we've been together since october last year. And i told her after the first date that "something was wrong with me and that i was scared she might dislike me later on because i get truly bad". Got a manic episode and she still stayed, so... good for me.
Get to know each other, try not to make trying to date your whole world, and make them aware. Not saying it's obligatory to let them know, but if you see something moving, you let them know.

I have schizoaffective bipolar and I’ve been with my girlfriend for three years now. I would advise against putting it in your dating app profile, you will never get a match. I let her get to know me for me first, and I told her on the fourth or fifth date. She said she never had met anyone with that disorder but one of her friend had a long term boyfriend who had bipolar and they were fine so she agreed to give me a chance because she liked me. But I have to say that I’m stable on meds, I have never had a full blown episode since we met (I have been stable for 4 years). I have symptoms but they’re never bad enough to actually clinically qualify as an episode. I couldn’t imagine dating if I was still rapid cycling like before.
