I think I can finally say, I am seriously stabilising

That is all :mrgreen: (But I'll elaborate anyway!)

Hardly any restlessness, no irritability, minimal anxiety. And no symptomes that are not triggered by something bad. All in all, I'm proud of myself.

Now (touch wood), this may just be a bit of hypomania, but I'm not seeing other symptomes. :D

I hope that whatever has brought you to this continues. Can you tell a little about how you did it?

In short, I did what everybody "told" me. Followed the psychaitrist's advice, followed the psychologist's advice, and followed ya'll's advice. I stayed on my meds, get enough sleep, ate well, dropped all stimulants, and dropped all substances. This was to get control of the BP. Then it came down to getting over my ex and the break-up. There the psychologist was invaluble! She tought me to always be aware of what is going on with my emotions and thoughts.
I think the most important thing is swallowing pride. When you stop assuming everybody is an idiot (guilty), assuming the doctors are just after your money (guilty), and assuming you know better (GUILTY), then you open yourself up to actually receiving help.
