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

They are the most amazing birds!!! Their evening "performances" are absolutely stunning and bring me to tears. I moved from NY and I've never seen these guys before. The fact that they can fly for 10 months straight and they migrate from South Africa and back every year blows my mind. I feel so blessed!!! Video is from 2 years ago and the stained glass bird I bought 5 years ago from an online artist.

I want to help people as much as I can with my abundance of empathy. I love learning about people's stories and I'm obsessed with documentaries and non fiction books. Injustices and unfairness really bothers me and if I have the chance to help people, I will! I appreciate any insight thank you <3
