I stay stable only weeks at a time, 6 weeks if I am lucky and spend about two thirds of the year manic, mixed or depressed to varying degrees. Mixed episodes are most common for me unfortunately. Right now I am coming out of a mixed episode and feeling like I am going to stabilise (hopefully), or go manic. It is so frustrating living like this. I would so love to be stable more often.

I am a rapid cycler, as well. And, I don't think I have a normal....nor even a BP normal. I am relatively stable at the moment.........but feel like I am going hypo...........usually do in the early spring. I am hoping I can be aware enough that it will be a positive experience this year. It never has been in the past. Anyway.....stability for me is an unknown entity ninety percent of the time.
