I think my pdoc just took a course on bipolar. This is the first time in 13 years that she has asked me to do a mood chart or talked about rapid cycling 3 or more episodes in a year. She wants data to know what to do with me (she thinks I am under medicated) so am doing the best that I can documenting my days.How do I document my excitment over our trip with out appearing hypo?
