Is anyone familiar with this at all? It was part of my Dx before I left inpatient mid-Feb. I've always been a writer. A song writer, a journal freak, short stories (when I was a kid). I have journals that I started writing to my daughters but don't write in them anymore, which makes me feel so guilty because I know that as each day passes I forget more and more. My memory is so incredibly bad. Now that I've thought of it I think I will start writing to/for them again. I write a lot. At church in the bulletins there is an insert with the sermon (for the most part) which is a fill in the blank format. I don't fill in the blanks though. I copy the entire insert, front and back into a journal. Now this proved to be really awesome when I was inpatient because my husband brought it to me and it was like my own personal church as I had access to like a year of services. I'm not sure why hypographia is a 'condition.' I don't feel like it causes any distress. I have a hard time reading lately since I went off my ADD meds (10mg Ritalin 1-2x daily). Apparently I don't have ADD but Bipolar along with what's in my signature. It's strange that I can write write write (and now Im blogging about my journey/recovery) but I cannot manage to focus enough to read and if I do I forget what I've read and have to reread over and over. Just wondering why this was even brought up. Any ideas? I personally think writing all the time saves me from awkward situations. I take a journal with me anytime I know I'll be waiting for more than 10min anywhere. I also have a notepad app on my phone. I find that getting it out on paper (or screen) often keeps me from blowing up when I am sad/angry/etc.
