Sometimes. I have terrible sense of time. Chart: time format. So, seeing things that'd otherwise be missed or when a pattern is really starting to develop. For instance, there was a spell when I guessed I'd been hypo for maybe 4 days. Chart revealed it had actually been going on a week and a half(!) Ooops! Ok --better up the diligence in keeping an eye on this one. (How did I not notice till that far in??!! Distracted much?! Or maybe scattered missed days, then realizing that (although I couldn't fill in the more detailed info…) that there was a point where it had increased significantly and that hadn't been any days that weren't like that since then.

I wish it would work better when I'm all over the place, but I get very erratic and forget to chart. One time, sensed it was getting quite bad because of a feeling like dejá vu of the timeframe that had preceded a long-lasting mixed episode. ( A real stand-out of horror the magnitude of which I NEVER want to experience again.) Anyway… "back-charting" (by going through matching-date PC posts) confirmed the dejá vu warning. (And how!) Took getting that pup back in line seriously. And PRONTO.
