Baseline is normal, or the closest we can get to normal. Each of our baselines is different. Mine is boring too. But I am never "normal". And glad of it too. I agree, normality is very boring and some times even very scary. And oh yes, very predictable too lol.

I have only been full manic 2 or 3 times that I can recall out of 30 years. Most of my episodes are mixed, depression, hypomania and baseline. The only time I rely on meds is when I am depressed or baseline (for a pick me up). I'm currently starting a mild hypomania period. I'm cleaning out my garage and office. Also noticed I am cycling back to my interests in electronics. I go thru phases and abandon them eventually. Some times I start new ones or I recycle old ones. I'm being flooded with ideas now on projects I want to start. I'll enjoy this as long as it lasts and of course will eventually abandon it or fall in to depression.

I'm off all meds right now except for serequel to help me sleep. I'm feeling great for now. And have been for the past 2 weeks. I expect that I will eventually change soon. To what I'm not sure. It will either be depression, mixed, or baseline. I'm also enjoying a little hallucinations too.
