Happy Bipolar?

My wife's natural state is hypomania. Prior to diagnosis and medication the level of mood which she opperated at as her normal was hypomanic.

I agree so much that stability is pretty important. I had a very unstable youth, so stability is a foreign concept in my nature. All the same I crave a stable life.

Happiness is not a bad thing, and please don't think I am complaining. I love being happy for once in so long. It's fantastic

I can imagine operating within the illness. I wish I were able to be that way again. In the event that I can't I have decided to make a way for me to make a living that accommodates all my bipolar needs. I am fortunate to be in this situation where I can do this. I wasn't always in this position. However, I really believe, especially for bipolars, that when we set our minds to something we can do some pretty incredible things.
