That does make the most sense. I'm starting to wonder if I have described my symptoms well enough recently. My depression has been much worse. Reading this forum has reminded me that I need to make sure my pdoc knows exactly how I'm feeling, even if I need to make a list.

I don't track my moods in any way, and I think I should start.

Thanks for your thoughts!
