But I suppose in time it will all work out. I just want to feel better so I can finally be the wife and mother I know I can be. My family is my whole world and I know that I am a good mom, but I want to be better. My time cycling between depression and hypomania makes me feel like I will never have stability in my life....ugh....

I don't want to sound too pessimist... but the thing is... with this quirk, you can have the best care in the world and you STILL will get down and have the ups. It is there still. And I guess our experienced depressions and manias somehow stay in our memory, as mild post-traumatic syndrome... you are changed person.
I guess the key here is getting used to it. Getting comfortable at wide rage of emotions. Damage control. Because the moment you act on your moods, it gets worse. MUCH worse when you have to deal with the consequences.
But on the good news front... this is possible. It can be done and with some mind training it does get easier.
