Let me chip in... for me it is not much about being stable... but about being able to be handle myself. I think you can get "used to it", when it comes to your mental quirks. I think there are positives in there too...

it is not about finding a "cure" or being "the way I was before" (because to be honest, many of us were ****ed up in one way or other, it was just not visible.... and that's why we broke).
