I have a question ya'll. What does normal feel like? What does stability feel like? What does not being manic or depressed feel like? I dont know that I have ever, or not that I can remember anyways, been stable, sane, "normal" or any sense of the words. I just want to know what to look for if any of this ever stops.

Hi Rebekah,
I am so sorry you are struggling right now. I struggled for a very long time. I hit upon a good Pdoc in Germany and we finally got me a med treatment that has worked so good for me.


For me being normal is
1. Not having a lot of rage episodes. I let the little things roll, and save my anger for things that warrant it.
2. I can go about the things I have to do daily without skipping from project to project. That is a big issue for me when I am manic. Very scattlebrained.
3. I take joy in the simple things. Even if it is waking up at 6 am for no reason, and watch the sun rise.
I am amazed
