Well lots of things go into how often we have episodes , One year I might have many or another year just a handful

Lots of things factor into how stable we can be. Are you on the right medications , do you practice self care, get enough sleep, eat well and exercise? Do you have coping skills and can you use them when they are needed ? I have lots of coping skills but they dont all work when I need it so I then move onto another, until I find one that helps.

I have yet to find a Pdoc that thinks its ok to drink, drinking while on psych meds can be dangerous and certainly can bring on an episode. So consider that.

Do you chart your moods daily ? It can be helpful in seeing a pattern if your starting to go up or down.. There are tons of APP's you can try and find one that works for you.

Hope some of that might help you
