Can I just ask her if She talked to H?
I'll say today: "I haven't slept in two days, don't remember the last time I took meds (2 wks ago maybe?), my head's loud, and pdoc's leaving. I don't plan to sleep because I have to finish my project."
That level of paranoia is normal for me. Even on meds.

I think that's a good start! Yes, letting her read the blog post would probably give her greater insight.
There's a difference between having a focus on projects and focusing to a degree you become imbalanced. I don't think she was aiming for projects to become consuming and was hoping more for them to just be an outlet for you to channel your energy into. Blogging and the work you've been doing with the books are great ideas under the right circumstances.
Also, knowing someone has a history of something is different than communicating that a particular symptoms is occuring at the moment. So it is one thing to know your sleep has been off, it would be another to say you haven't slept for however many hours it has been. Knowing you've struggled with eating in the past is different than saying I'm really struggling to eat for the past few weeks or days or whatever. Essentially, you need to paint a complete picture of what's going on for you at the present time. The whole picture will help her to better assess your needs and offer a strategy that is a fit for you at the moment. It sounds like she's given you good tips for handling things in general, but this is more of a specific combination of symptoms.
