I'm confused. Could this possible be stability? No anxiety, slight depression, slight uplift, no anger....
Here I sit and wonder is it or is it the start of mix / depression. I want to be optimistic but its hard when you have been on a roller coaster from hell. Keep an eye on' my symptoms closely. I know the drill if I get si thoughts get support or go to hospital. If I can't be safe go to hospital. Welcome the release from extremes. Its ok.....to fear that it might become an upheaval again but enjoy the smoothness while it lasts. Tig

It gets hard to figure out what is normal, feeling good and what is something to be doing something about. Extremely challenging and not a little confusing. I'd say as long as your acting rationally and functioning at a level you feel comfortable with and feel even then, yes you are stable. Awesome!

I'm still running to fast. Didn't realize at work or maybe it was caused by work. I don't want to sit still. I've been painting crocheting and listening to music and my wife. Can't just do one thing. Still slightly manic probably based off of those things. Spent more money that should have went to bills but oh well. Gotta have fun somehow. And the tree outside my kitchen window is goering buds. I feel like Olaf from Frozen. The way thoughts are running through my head. Why can't I have a day? Or maybe med isn't lastting long enough. Could that be possible? I started noticing a difference until about 3 hours ago.

I wouldn't confuse stable with baseline...stable is something to be achieved after a period of time. If you're only stable for one day before swinging then it's not really stable, is it? But baseline...or normal...that can be achieved for just one day! Even an hour!
I was what I would consider normal for six weeks. Then depressed. Back to normal for another sixish weeks. Depressed and then god knows what I don't kno what's been happening since the end of January. So I guess by my own definition I've been stable for a total of twelve weeks in the past year? I guess it also depends on the length of your cycles. My episodes are short, max two weeks, so six weeks of baseline is stable for me. I think. Aaaaanyway perhaps you are still hypo but coming down. Hopefully you gets little time baseline before the next episode!

I define normal for myself as content mood with no energy spikes. I I'm balky AND energetic I'm hypo, but if I'm happy with regular energy I'm just baseline. But everyone has to have their own definition of normal. I feel like if I'm able to live each day as it comes and not stuff it into an episode box then I am normal.
