I promise you that finding stability is possible- the way stability looks and feels is different for each person. For some, it may simply be a life with little stress and a strong family. For others, like myself- it involves a strong working life. I have friends who measure stability by how much psychosis they have- or how much depression. If that makes sense! I have created a very, very structured life in order to get better. It's not a life for everyone, but it works for me. Have you read Get it Done When You're Depressed? I think you will like it- it has so many ideas on how not to get in bed on the weekend. I have been there and still fight it! I know all about the manic night cleaning of my house as well! Sometimes I just let myself do it- but usually I have to be honest with myself and check my life and why I'm hypomanic again! julie Hi Lynn,

I don't think I have ever commented, but I can relate to so many of your posts. I'm on Depakote and Lexapro. Sometimes I think I can stop taking medicine, but I have a partner who makes sure that I don't. I also have a difficult time finishing tasks. I'm good at making list, I do terrible without them. Sometimes I am depressed, and sleep all weekend, and get nothing done. And other times, I am up all night, getting loads of things done. I would be nice to one day be able to maintain stability:) Lynn Hi Ms. Julie,

I also have a difficult time finishing tasks. I’m good at making list, I do terrible without them. Sometimes I am depressed, and sleep all weekend, and get nothing done. And other times, I am up all night, getting loads of things done.

I would be nice to one day be able to maintain stability:)
