Hi Ritch,
I'm glad this approach works well for you, since you are charting your moods obviously you've taken responsibility. It IS difficult to take medication at the start of an episode, but as you've probably discovered you save yourself a lot of grief by doing so. I had an extra incentive, because I'm BP 1, I was landing up in hospitals when I ignored the warning signs. It does take pressure from my pdoc and therapist though- I still can't do it by myself- so I'm really impressed that you are able to. Another perk of not going up is not going down- as you've discovered with the evening of your moods. Congrats!- judy
