I wonder how you do so much except that you run high.
Are you organized about keeping track of the paper work that is generated?
What kind of calendar do you use for the appts? I use my phone's calendar but I also write notes to myself.
I like that your docs do some of this electronically it seems.

Yes, I do run high.
TBH, I am
TOO HIGH right now, but I'm afraid of changing my meds with everything going on. My mood is good, and I need it to stay that way right now. I see my pdoc on Friday.
I am high functioning outside of episodes, but I need a lot of help because of cognitive problems. I ask for appointment cards for
everything and carefully put them into the calendar on my phone when I have the time and can concentrate, and I set up alerts. I also keep written lists of appointments week by week, and usually have to write them over and over again.
I have a pretty big hardcover notebook with an elastic closure (I can find you a link if you are interested) that fits in my purse, where I keep notes on
EVERYTHING. I'm always reorganizing and rewriting those, too. Everything I get from the doctors gets folded and stuck in that book and occasionally gets sorted out.
I'm big on
LISTS. Part of that, and the rewriting is OCD.
The system is working for me for now.
