Mine varies each year. Most of the year was actually a psychotic break (9 months) with some depression but the depression continues but the psychosis is mostly over. I did have a break from the depression when I had a manic episode in the hospital. Only 1 manic episode that lasted around a week, and depression for most of the year. Some years I have more than 4 episodes of mania and depression but mainly depression. Some years I have more psychosis than mood symptoms (I am actually schizoaffective disorder bipolar type rather than bipolar disorder). My psychosis was the most severe this year and getting worse each and every year. But even though my stress gets worse every year, my worst depression was several years ago where it physically slowed me down to near catatonia for months. I was able to move and talk but no feelings, walked so slowly that most people can't walk that slow (unless they are ancient and using a walker), crying all the time, being confused most of the time and other symptoms.
