A schedule is very important to me. I try to keep one as best I can. It is difficult to do so when I am in a big bipolar episode, as I have been recently. My schedule has been kind of off for several months. But overall, I do find it helpful and comforting to have a plan for my day. It does help keep me from falling into rumination or feeling too lonely or lost.

So, yes, I do believe schedules are a big part of my recovery.
