Oddly enough, I do experience periods of what I'd term "stability." Most people would probably think I'm crazy if I detailed exactly what I define stable as, but overall I'd say my symptoms are all there but minimized and not affecting me in any horrible way.
I guess it's what I would consider functioning without dying on the inside or running for my anxiety meds or alcohol to cope. It seems that I'm having a pretty good stable streak as of late with just a few setbacks here and there. It's good. So good.
I've gone through periods in the past, some lasting well over a year and others only lasting a week or two if that. I often see a correlation between my sleep and mental health so when the sleep goes south my grasp follows suit. So those four years when I didn't sleep because of babies were probably four of the worth mental health years of my life. It's probably factor #2 in why I'm divorced now.
