Hi FluffyDinosaur!

I'm bipolar type 1 with rapid cycling so I could try to chime in on the bipolar aspect however I am not really knowledgeable about the spectrum. I definitely agree with fern that a mood journal is a great tool to have to track what moods you feel. I just started using a app called eMoods and its pretty good for tracking bipolar symptoms. I think one of the important things with bipolar is to begin the process of identifying potential triggers. For example, traveling almost always makes me hypomaniac while the changing of the seasons from fall to winter almost always makes me depressed a bit. Also I always believe that knowledge is power so being as educated about whats going on is always good. Lastly, sleep is important because it helps our bodies stabilize.
