" Actually, I looked at this chart and it appears to be mostly for depression? Not too good for those of us who have other types of episodes... "

" i agree with the last post- that neither chart includes our manic phase.

I like the 1st chart in that it has notes and a place to keep track of my weght, my meds, my anxiety and irritability- this chart strives to track our manic side- but its kinda confusing for me with the impairment thing.

the second one has more colors- more range- but it stops at feeling competent

In a manic high i feel as if i can take on the world!!!! and i will say everything is fine- cause i am glossing over my problems

where also is the gauge for spending and the sex drive?

It would take quite some work for a better chart and i believe a bp'er would be better at making it- and i would then imagine that everyone would have their own style.

But i am keeping both charts (for both of them combined would be nice) for i do believe it is better than those mood faces (but then again the faces and a word chart would be interesting)

Oh well, thank you all for the info- inshallah i will actually use them!!! :) lol "
