Mood Update for August

The following days I had mood that I considered not "normal."  Normal for me means that I functioned fine throughout the day, with little or no symptoms.  This list is in lieu of keeping a regular mood chart.

8/7/11 - mild depression

8/10/11 - brief anxiety, maybe because of not sleeping long enough

8/11/11 - brief anxiety, maybe because of not sleeping long enough

8/16/11 - depressed & anxious

8/20/11 - moody and definitely depressed

8/24/11 - morning hypomanic, late afternoon & evening anxious and depressed

8/29/11 - hypomanic, all day.

8/30/11 - hypomanic, all day.


I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder NOS (not otherwise specified), although I consider myself to have some variation of Bipolar Disorder II, rapid cycling. It's not uncommon for my mood episodes to last just part of the day, or 1-2 days at a time.

Mood Update - June and July

Since in May I said I was going to keep tracking of my sick days, I thought I should let you know where I stand.

June was an uneventful month.  No sick days to speak of.

For July, I failed to keep track of sick days, but I had more than my usual. Business has been slow, and so I've been stressed, and that causes mood problems.  I had lots of depressed days and my mood was up and down.

Now it's August, and I'm going to try to keep track. I'll let you know at the end of the month :)
