Do any of you guys have balanced content moods?

My moods have been cycling around from depression to content and back to depression or sometimes I go through depression and then I feel content. I usually wake up depressed in the morning and then when I get my day going I feel better. If I get out of my house I feel a lot better. I think I feel terrible at home because I have so much idle time to think about my life and I get depressed. On August 14th my psychiatrist had a stroke. He was 70 years old. I had a severe nervous breakdown on November 28th 2014 because of severe depression for four years, for smoking a lot of weed(4-6 times a day), usually an ounce of weed a week, anxiety, depression from ex-girlfriends. I was also in an abusive relationship when I was 18, I’m 22 now. I was extremely paranoid to the point that I thought people were going to kill me for weeks. My mom found me a psychiatrist back in December 2014 and I went to him and thought he was a drug lord or part of a huge gang. Basically I got extremely paranoid and that led to hospitalization, the paranoia wasn’t the main reason I went to the hospital. It didn’t lead me to hospitalization, the intrusive thoughts did. I currently am not seeing a psychiatrist right now, I am seeing two psychologists but I have an appointment with a psychiatrist on September 16th which I am really excited about. Do you guys ever have balanced moods? Like feeling normal for a long time? Basically not any depression.

Yes, I've been stable for eight months. I have normal ups and downs but no mood episodes. This is the best it's ever been in the 3 1/2 years since I was diagnosed. It takes a fair amount of meds to achieve and maintain stability but it's well worth it.

I've been relatively stable for about 9 months. I still get depressed but usually only mild and usually passes quickly. I've been through a lot since May so I can't say the depression is all chemical either. most of it is probably situational. But I haven't been manic since July of last year. I haven't had psychosis since April of last year. So that's good.

basically same here as the other posters.... ive been pretty stable for a while now, almost since the beginning of the year, with the occasional temporary up and down. just two incidences in this entire year that i couldnt handle easily... however, with what ive learned for myself, ive been able to brush off everything, which has helped with my overall mood... ive been my most stable since the past three months or so though... content, i believe so.. room for improvement as always...

depressed, not likely at all. empty, yes. ive been in my house reflecting on things for the past three months, which has kept me away from excitement and more happiness. BUT, it has been worth it to think about my problems in depth... im now more ready than ever to move on to better things, with all the good things coming up in the next months... so, overall, yeah, im happy with the way things are going. do i expect this happiness to last for centuries passing? nope, not at all... all i know is, right now, im doing good for myself by understanding and enjoying the reasons for my happiness...!

I have been mostly stable for years now. I watch for any signs of mood changes, even in the slightest, I have had one minor med tweak. Now I do have situational depression, but any normal person would have this. Maybe it puts me in a darker place then most, but who knows.

Yeah, I've been pretty stable for around a year. I was actually able to quit taking my meds regularly (with approval from pdoc) and just throw Seroquel at it when I need to.
