My week one quick tip is about keeping logs. This can be time-consuming, so I recommend it mostly for times of upheaval. For example, logs can be a very valuable resource while switching medication, before a major evaluation, or while symptoms are changing rapidly. The Bipolar Child by Papolos and Papolos have a great example of a log that charts mood, energy, anger, medications and sleep. You can create your own, to suit your own needs. I liked the one in The Bipolar Child because once you get the hang of it, you can fill it out very quickly once a day. They use shapes a lot to indicate things instead of doing a lot of writing. What are your experiences with logs? Feel free to comment and share. Also, feel free to share any quick tips of your own on any topic!
