My T was very clear that I need to start taking my PRN, sleep and slow down. I feel fine besides not feeling I can understand English (my first language) it all just sounds to me right now. I guess she thinks I'm (hypo)manic.

Over the years I got much better at gauging my functioning. Some of my functioning is quite obvious, if I could not make dinner, or do any of my regular household duties, things that I would normally be perfectly fine doing. And also that my not doing them was not because I didn't feel like doing it...couldn't get motivated etc ( for mania at least ) . But because I actually could not do them. Could not stand still, could not concentrate, could not figure out how to etc.
I don't know if that would help you MM. I don't know what type of functioning you are trying to rate. If it is other type of functioning.. like being rational, functioning in relations with other people etc that is a whole lots harder to meassure.
I hope you feel better soon.
