I'm not sure. Since it's not a mood you'd be tracking it's hard to say but patterns can emerge.
I have a pattern. I've learned that. I cycle so fast but I do have a very distinctive pattern barring triggers, of course.
Like on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being dysphoria and 10 being euphoria, I tend to sit at a 3-4 most days. My "elevation" (which is like how bad my thoughts are racing and how "speeded up" I feel,) with 1 being slow and 10 being extremely fast, I usually sits at a 7-8. The thing for me is that when my mood drops to a 1, my elevation raises to a 10. And mood wise I never go over a 6. Elevation wise I never drop under 4....
I've been using optimism online for just over a year now, I track for about a month and then I start forgetting, then I start a few months later. But this pattern always comes back up. It makes really nice, easy to read graphs.
