I decided to make a line graph to be more able to see a pattern in my mood and anxiety, so I looked around online and found this site: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx I just did a graph for Feb. 13 - Feb. 28, and one for Mar. 1 - Mar. 15. On days that my mood or anxiety ratings were pretty similar all day, I just put one entry, and for days that my mood or anxiety fluctuated significantly I put in two entries. It was kind of fun to do actually, and it will be helpful to show my doctor next time. I realized I've actually had more depression lately than I realized. Most days it's not been severe, but I am going to ask about maybe adjusting my meds a bit more, maybe add a mild anti-depressant or something in addition to my Lamictal and other meds.

Just thought I would share in case anyone was interested!
