Yes. Having a routine has always been important to me. I found when I reached my 50's that routine became essential. In fact, sometimes I make myself mix things up a bit so I don't start being phobic if my routine is interrupted.

Overall, routine is important for anyone with mental illness, maybe especially BD, because of the sleep/wake cycle.


It seems that many people have problems with creating a routine they're comfortable with, at least that's what I hear quite a bit. That might be in part why such a great number of people are suffering badly from covid sheltering. Their routines are so disrupted.
