I think it's relative. I don't think of being stable so much as functioning. I have one or two significant episodes a year, even on medication, but I try my best to get through them unscathed. Functioning to me means bathing, eating right, being passionate about my interests, being social, being able to go to work etc. Even with my mini episodes I can usually do most of these things. But once a year or so I slip and don't act functional. That's how I would measure how well I'm doing.
