I have bipolar and BPD. I am currently in a state of peacefulness. With my BPD I can shut off my emotions completely. I am so used to intensity across the board that I dont know what to do with this calmness. Am I suppressing my feelings? Am I happy? Am I about to explode or crash?

Does anyone else question things when they dont feel any type of extreme feeling? I analyze everything trying to prevent catastrophe. I'm not sure how to just be anymore because I'm so used to the instability and chaos. I also have zero faith it could last.

When I’m what I call normal, I often have this feeling of just waiting for the depression to come back or for me to creep up to hypomania again. I don’t ever feel settled when I am normal. I also feel like could this be the calm before the storm?

I used to question those periods of calm. Now I just enjoy them. It's nice to have a break from the emotional chaos. I try to stay in the present moment, not worry about the future.
Thanks for this!

Any period of calm is usually from beingover-medicated for me
