I have been stable on meds for over a week, which is an accomplishment for me. I still have up and down fluctuations in mood, but I remain functional. Sometimes it is a mild depression that lasts the entire day. I want to believe that I should be feeling really good and impervious to external events.

I think part of the reason for the mood changes is what I have been thinking. I do not always know specifically what I am thinking. I simply do not appreciate the day as it unfolds. I think I am caught up in negative thoughts. But I am so familiar with them that I am not always aware I am thinking this way, if that makes any sense.

Would a change in meds help me with this type of swings in mood? Or does this call for CBT or DBT and mindfulness?
