HOW LONG AND HOW OFTEN ARE YOU STABLE?

This is a good question.

It has made me think.

There has been a change in my episodes, more recently in the last 2 years; and even more dramatically in the past year.

I would say when my BP symptoms first started (I'm choosing the words first started as opposed to diagnosis) I would go relatively long periods of stability.

My mood episode if it swung high or low didn't last all that long and really wasn't quite severe.

I wouldn't say that my elevated mood or delevated mood caused enough disruption in my daily life; but yes; it was there.

When diagnosed; there was still "relatively speaking" compared to now, long periods of stability.

Not sure what has caused this to change in the last 2 years and especially during the last year.

I rarely have "stability".

And my episodes are pretty dramatic and intense and quite drawn out.

Not sure why I have had this change really.
