Right now, to my knowledge, there is no cure for bipolar disorder. Hopefully, there will be in our lifetimes.
I do believe that most of us will surely find the right medication mixes, life circumstances, and coping mechanisms to have long periods of stability. Or at least mostly stability. I think most of us will at least have some minor mood fluctuations even during good times. I guess keys to living with that peacefully are acceptance, not dwelling on them as much, and more firm optimism that harder challenges always ease. I try to get small pleasures as often as possible. I want big ones, too, but no one really gets big ones all of the time.
