Marvelousparker, I think you need to discover what stability really is. All of those things you say you want can be had in stability. Hypomania would not be considered part of an illness if it was normal. Though it can be a highly appealing mood state, it also comes with dysfunction and ramifications sometimes. Full mania is as Moose72 describes. Super duper bad news! You likely have not experienced that. It is a very dysfunctional state, and often leads to psychiatric hospitalization. Nothing to hope for. Believe me. It ain't cool!
