Therapist here. You should, unless you anticipate applying for disability benefits, in which case it is better if the notes document you being disheveled.

I'm a therapist too, and I totally agree.
They'll pay me not to shower!?
Do you want us to get swarmed with 4channers?
I can apply for disability for being bipolar?
You can, but if that's all that's going on you have to be pretty bad to be allowed, just to warn you.
Nah don’t worry I like working and it’s not that bad.
It's one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. This article says that about 5% of Americans with bipolar are on disability, but she doesn't provide any citations.
Well I hope to never be in that position.
Same, friend. It's scary to think we could be that impaired by bipolar.
Wtf dude right now I'm preparing to go to doctor afraid cause my beard is in homeless mode
