Yes. Oh, yes. In fact, I had friends and bosses tell me that I should relax my bipolar vigilance because I don't need it and it is affecting other areas of my life (and that was over ten years ago that was said).

I don't see how we can be anything but overvigilant and have this illness if we expect to be functional at all. But that's how my life runs. As I've gotten older, I've relaxed some but not all.
