This is of course just how I'm going about this. There are a number of ways and I'm sure the wise folks here have good alternatives for consideration.

What I've really begun to wonder is whether all of my major decisions are made while manic. I have a tendency to put off most major decision making, and I think that I am wary of action whilst in a normal state, perhaps as a result of past behaviours. So I might need two sets of questions, one asking why I'm doing something, the other asking why I'm not.
