Stability cannot be found via medication/diet/exercise alone. You need to develop the skills to function within the mood episode (and all the nasty surprises in between). If you have no coping skills you will never be stable. Therapy etc can be hard work but the sooner you learn to look after yourself the sooner you will find stability and in the long term, hope to stay there within the boundries of a mental illness.

What are some of your symptoms? Maybe some of us here can share some coping techniques with you?
Thanks for this!
