I have been trying so hard since March when I was in the hospital to get into a routine.Part of me feels that this is part of being bipolar ~ having trouble with organization and such. When I came home hubby was laid off. And we did really well while he was off. He kept me in check so to speak. Including making sure I got my meds in when I was supposed to. But as soon as he went back to work, on third shift, I just got out of the routine. I am struggling with staying organized with the bills, getting them out ontime, I haven't made my meds out for 2 weeks now, I keep forgetting to call in to get refills, I just am lost here. I want to do good, I just cant get a plan in place. I rely totally on my planner ... and I do great at getting to appointments. Part of me also feels I need to be as quiet as possible while hubby is sleeping upstairs. I dont want to disturb his sleep at all. He said not to worry about that. And part of me knows he can sleep thru about anything. So really I dont have an excuse there not to do what I need to do around the house here. I guess what I am asking is do any of you who deal with bipolar issues as far as getting yourselves into a routine, and staying organized. I dont want to go back to where I was before March. This is why I am asking if any of you have any suggestions. It would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks so much~
Bethy
