Is it possible to only have one manic episode (with healthy lifestyle and meds)
I feel like the answer is no🙃but I’m absolutely terrified to have another. I had my first and only episode so far in Jan/Feb 2023, took my BP1 diagnosis and recovery very seriously, and I’ve been stable ever since. My life is the best it’s ever been and I’m so proud of myself, but I hate knowing there’s an inevitable future with this mental illness. I genuinely feared for my life when I was manic and the depression was scary dark, that I’m afraid I won’t make it through the next one fr. Has anyone managed to be stable for a long long period of time?😭
Edit: thank you lovely people for all the comments🥹I’m so grateful for this community xx
