....I don't feel sadness, anxiety, despair, irritability, emptiness.
I simply feel me, happy (not hypomanic), everything seems right there where I want it it to be. I feel me. Will I get me back again? How long has anyone of you been stable? Want to hear some good stories   love you all

I feel stable right now and it is excellent. I'm not numb and i'm not sensitive. I still react to unpleasantness like when someone snapped at me yesterday but it's not rocking my world. I feel calm and in control.
In the past i haven't ever been stable for more than a few months but i am seeing my psychiatrist on Thursday and i will be asking for better meds to prevent another mania. |

I am happy for you apfei...
When I am stable I feel exactly the same as you...but my stability only lasted for about 18 days or so...now I am waiting for it again. I guess I have still a long way to go... :/

Man I love being stable! I am almost there at the moment, and then hopefully peace again. Unfortunately I rapid cycle so I can almost guarantee that I will fall into hypomania, depression or a mixed state some time in the next three months. The longest I have been 'normal' since my mental health issues began would be a matter of months not years.

I've finally been stable since going on Depakote and a few other meds a month ago. I don't think I remember the last time I felt this way!

Being stable for a month feels like a miracle...even being stable for just 2 weeks would be bliss. Maybe it's because I'm newly diagnosed and obviously not on much in the way of meds yet but my "stable" (which is still hard for me to determine) only lasts a few days - MAYBE a week - at most.

I'm happy to report that even with a couple of hiccups, I've largely been stable for the past 4 1/2 months. This is the longest I've stayed that way since I was diagnosed.

 It's a work in progress. But when I do feel stable I feel more connected and responsive to life around me. Upbeat music always strikes my fancy and I can tell when it's starting to shift because I'll start taking a liking to the hardcore scream at everything songs. Glad you are feeling well Cocinella
