Today I noticed I didn't get angry or overly frustrated when Chipotle didn't have my online order ready. That's big for me!

Hygiene lol. When I'm bad I couldn't care less what my mop of hair looks like or if I sweated in my sleep. Gross, I know. Or I let my nightstand pile up with pop bottles and dishes. Then once I get stable I look in the mirror or beside me and think "wtf?!" And clean it. I've gotten pretty bad before from depression. Too embarrassed to even go into detail right now lol

I actually clean my room. It's the one room in the house where I don't give a **** because it's just me seeing it. So if I'm sleeping with a bed that hasn't been made in who knows how long and clothes, papers, and shoes are all over the floor, I'm depressed. But if I'm finally picking things up and putting them where they belong and keep it that way, then I know I'm on my way up.

I actually don't know, I haven't been really stable since I was 12, years denying my mental illness, and MDD turning into bipolar and PTSD haven't helped much.

Stable for me can mean depression but no Psycotic behavior.

I'm stable when I don't get p*ssed off at everybody for little things.
I'm also stable when I don't have anhedonia amd I'm actually motivated to do things. |

Wouldn't have a clue. What I thought was stability I am told sounded more hypomania, so what I consider to be sub threshold (not major) depression is probably "normal," yay for me.

I see pre-mania as my normal, but it's just the rest of the world is not my normal. So it gets messy and unstable. Pre-mania would be still largely unprovoked mania. Me being normal is per se abnormal to most. Their irrationality is largely my rationality.
Stable is when I feel I am in control of myself and I start to see possibilities that remain important to me for some time, not being quickly superseded by other, and rather exclusively and extremely important, possibilities.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |
