This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
So the caseworker told me the pdoc wanted me to have it......I think she just said that so I would take it......I tried to tell the pdoc before that I can't remember to fill those dang things out so they are of no use to me.....I absolutely HATE keeping track of my moods.....What do I have to say to the pdoc to get her to stop pushing those damn things! Well I decided to give them another try, but I know it's going to end badly and I am going to end up forgetting more often than remembering.....So for all of you that keep mood diarys out there WTF! How do you remember to do them every damn day!

i remember to do mine on most evenings. sometimes i do forget tho. i go to moodtracker.com for mine. the tdoc is directly connected and can look my stuff up anytime she wishes. and since i record if i take my meds or not, it makes me more accountable. i just give the charts that come with it to the pdoc, instead of letting him personally. cuz there is a spot to journal on there besides record. that to me is more private.

I don't think it's a necessity.If you can remember how it's been overall.

I skip the mood diary / journal - I think they're annoying and I've got enough on my plate - I don't have time to stress over that.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
