During my recent episode of mania, as it was worsening I became terribly forgetful and had to write everything down that was important- if I remembered!

Before I was hospitalized I asked my Pdoc about it since I had never had that happen to me before. He said forgetfulness is a classic symptom of bipolar. He didn't specify whether it was because I was having an episode or not. However, prior to this I have never had this symptom so horribly before when I had only had hypomania or depression.

My memory is coming back to me and I'm remembering things more easily, but it's been weeks and weeks.... and weeks!
