I have had brief periods of feeling symptom free- but it has always seemed to end up being another cycle- rapid cycler. Right now I am on a good combo of meds, and I am feeling better than I have in years (she said cautiously).
Right now I am taking my meds, sticking to a sleep schedule, using DBT techniques that I have been learning in treatment, meditating, and keeping my time structured. Although I am not symptom free persay, my cycles are much further apart, and the major episodes are much shorter than they used to be- with periods of stability in between. I am hoping that I can continue in this direction.
