I have bipolar type 1. is it possible to have a manic episode, recover and be stable for a few weeks to a month then have a severely depressed episode?

Yes: The pattern of symptoms you described are indeed possible with bipolar type 1. Keeping a symptom diary can be helpful in determining onset of mania and depressive episodes.
