> I really think this mood chart thing is good, I'm doing them with a spread sheet so I can make some charts later and see how my mood changes and why.Do you have Microsoft Access? I put together a database for mine, with forms, reports, etc, and it allowed for charting. I'd be happy to send it on to you, if you're interested.
And even if you're not interested in the thing I put together -- which admittedly had a lot of stuff that was only relevant to me -- I do think it's a good idea. I learned that my mood improved in the late afternoon, and that I did much better if I was out of bed by about 8AM. That information alone was worth whatever effort was involved. I also included things on the chart like when I went to the pdoc, therapist, regular doctor; how much and what sort of exercise I did; notes about things that went on; and other random things. All of it was worth knowing, as far as I was concerned.
In fact, it occurs to me that I might do well to start that up again...
Best luck to you, and I do hope you feel some improvement soon. (And it's only partly because I like the name Mattias so much. I used to hear stories about wise King Matyas, which may be part of that...)
