Oh, I have the racing thoughts and lists of things I want to accomplish and I usually can't sit still for just one so I jump from one to another and eventually accomplish most everything, but I'm not doing the one thing I want to do! That's write creatively again. At least before the school term starts, and that's 2 weeks from Monday.

I didn't do anything all summer except for dr's appts, meds alterations, eat, sleep (a little), buy stuff (as of late) and do silly projects. God this disease sucks sometimes. I'm drowsy but I can't do anything more than 3-6 hours a night. Can't nap in the day either or I prob won't sleep at all. Wish I could email the p-doc so I could find out what to do.
At least you're noticing the hypomanic tendencies. I think it would be good to pause and decide what's most important to you TODAY. As opposed to, I can do that tomorrow so that way you don't feel like you "can't do anything," but just some of the less than pressing things can wait a day or two. What can't wait for me today is to start a new story.

Nice idea for invention BTW. I have so many ideas too, but can't follow through with them.
PS...I too am an all or nothing sort of person...it's a perfectionist's trait.
