Hey almondjoy --
I have a BP book out of the library and was just now giving it a quick look over to decide if it was worth renewing (forgot I had it out till the email notice came, oops) and it had a mood chart in it that you might find useful. (It's not like mine, but it does separate the elements we talked about.)

The book is "Living with Bipolar Disorder" by Michael W. Otto, Noreen A. Reilly-Harrington, Robert O. Knauz, Aude Henin, Jane N. Kogan and Gary S. Sachs. (Not that you couldn't find it at your library under one name -- I just find it hilarious how many people wrote it, because overall, I found it a bit overly simplified, though fine for an introductory type situation.) The chart is on pages 98 and 99.

On what happened when…. so true!…
Which is why the following is one of my favorite comedy bits. By Steven Wright:

"Four years ago... No, it was yesterday. Today I... No, that wasn't me. Sometimes I... No, I don't."
