It ebbs and flows. It's been ten months since my last manic/psychotic break. It took me about six months and the right medication combination for me to feel 'stable'. I had some serious PTSD after the break so I think that working through that was a big factor in my recovery. However, I still get really emotional and have anxiety issues, and feel more fragile than I did than before the break. I have to try my best to take care of myself and lead a low stress lifestyle, which isn't always easy.
