Treat every day as your last day stable (don't think, or rather believe, depression will hit or you might get manic; don't really believe it, but you probably won't, as you're stable).
Longer periods of stability get increasingly worse for me. Maybe assume it's the same for you (it might be).
And realise your next depression will be more severe, guilt-ridden, if you don't use every opportunity now to make up for lost time.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
