I've always wondered about this too, what does stability truly feel like? As it stands, even on meds and staying out of the hospital and all that good stuff... I'm just about perpetually hypomanic... I hardly ever have baseline.

Also, as for hypomania, I can see why that would be appealing to people that are more on the depressive pole of bipolar... but it's overrated, just saying from someone who lives on the manic side of the pole most of the time. It's always a balancing act for me to not tip into full blown psychotic mania or a mixed episode and this is with me taking all of my meds exactly as prescribed and doing all the other right things that are good for stability.
