I'll answer the previous question:
my obsessiveness

I am hypervigilant and obsessive about tracking my moods. I have intense charts and thorough journals. Daily I rate several aspects of my bipolar on a number scale of my own making.

I believe this intense compulsion to track is based in my bipolar, though I've heard no one else talk about the same experience. Tracking is also a significant piece of how I frantically try to impose some order into the chaos my brain causes.

And I'll continue the recent question (since overspending isn't one of my symptoms):
How much have you spent in 2016?
