All I am thinking of is maybe making yourself something kinda like cue cards, or notes that you could leave in the places where you would need to reference them. Maybe you can think of some better ideas, since I don't really know what your job entails or if that would help. Just a thought.

Great ideas. I will definitely look into this and figure out something that would work for me before going back to work.
It got to the point where one co-worker took over and did several of my projects, from start to finish, because she is a friend and didn't want to see me get fired. While it's nice that she did this for me, I feel really guilty about it.
My big problem has been that I take a lot of notes when someone shows me how to do the work, but when it comes time for me to try to do the work on my own and I'm hypomanic, I feel slowed down by my notes. I'd rather ask how to do each step and have someone show me again, thinking it will sink in, but it doesn't.
Then, since I was hypomanic when this took place, I'm asking tons of questions, really fast, not giving the person time to answer, throwing out bits of info that I remember from other tasks even though it's the wrong info now, and then a lot of times this friend at work would take my computer and finish the task because it was easier than dealing with me.
So maybe part of getting me stabilized will mean I'm able to go through my own notes and retain this knowledge without being a pain in the rear to co-workers.
Thanks! I'm going to do some research online for learning styles and note-taking.
