That might be what you need to change in your routine :P You're leaving out time to relax! That is a very important thing to do, even if you have to schedule it in. Because you're right: balance is key!

I get the worry about the stigma and about gossip. I'm a teacher and working in a rather small-town community. I've been VERY worried about word getting around about things... and I'm pretty much refusing to talk to anyone until I know what their qualifications are, because I am way too worried about it getting around.

You think it'd be bad to have your child excluded (which would be horrid and sad!) so imagine it as a teacher and having parents spread the word that the teacher (might) have bipolar! That would make my life.... extremely complicated and awkward.
