That's good to hear
I'm still not good at seeing when an episode is coming. I mean, I can tell I'll be depressed shortly after I have a hypo/manic episode, but that's about it. I can't tell when hypo/mania is coming.
But, as you're implying, it does take time to figure things out. I've been keeping a mood journal to help me out
