I can relate to much of what key tones describes. The especially puzzling thing for me is the difficulty I have with showering. Once I get in the shower it's a piece of cake - it's just so hard to get there. I have no problem helping clean house because if I didn't I'd be greeted with the cold shoulder by my girlfriend! I've learned over time that paying bills is something that must be done; computer payment & direct deposit save my butt, too. As with many things, though, I question whether or not my procrastination is a product of BP, or just something in my nature. When I'm really depressed I feel it's definitely related to BP, but I try not to make blanket excuses based on the fact that I have BP disorder. That's just me, though.
