I have been really quite stable lately. I have a lot of things coming up that are what I would call big things. I seem to be lagging behind on some of them or waiting til the last min because of the little things. My wife says I need to ask for help when I need it but I am afraid she will just say I am going manic and need to stop doing the big things, so I keep putting little things like dishes and laundry first when I should be doing the big things.
When should I tell her that I just have big things to do and I need her to start helping with the little things.

You clearly explained your situation here.All you need to do is clearly explain it to her.
You just have to be very basic in your communication and strip it down to your needs and concerns.
Let her have her say too and be open in your need for discussion.She may have some points that you may not have thought about too.
