Thanks so much for your reply. I will try to start doing it the way you mentioned. Another problem that I have is much worse since my DX. with BP is procrastination. It was bad before and it is way worse now because my mind races so fast whether im depressed or hypo manic. I guess that's why I have much trouble sleeping even when im depressed. I seem to stay in a mixed state all the time unless I go off the charts.
