Well I've already been to the doctors to try and get help for depression and anxiety and I'm currently having CBT but when my depression is bad, it's bad, but I noticed something about my moods because they aren't consistent and i wrote them down. I wonder if this is normal with someone with anxiety! because when I'm in a better mood, it's nowhere near as bad when I'm really depressed.
Tuesday - Depressed mood Wednesday - Normal mood Thursday - Good mood Friday - Good mood Saturday - Good mood Sunday - Depressed mood Monday - Depressed mood Tuesday - Mildly depressed mood Wednesday - Normal mood Thursday - Good mood Friday - Normal Mood Saturday - Mixed mood I wrote these down over a little period of time. |

Mine is very similar to yours. I feel almost bipolar sometimes. I've notices that the time when I'm really depressed are days when I don't have a lot of plans, or didn't see many people, have many social interactions, etc. Something else that affects me a LOT is if I've slept too long. I love sleeping, but I have to keep my sleep very consistent in order to keep depression at bay. Also, exercising plays a part in it all to. Could any of these things be contributing?

The next step is writing down what you did that day and trying to seek patterns in what you're doing, what happened, and how that affects your mood.

Try to take note of your day to day thoughts and how you respond to your moods. What do you do when you notice you are feeling a certain way? Even if there are no 'events' happening, you are still doing something.

Something that can be useful if you're still not sure of any trends is keeping a food journal. Theoretical example: you might find on days that you have coffee, you end up more depressed in the afternoon or evening because of coming down from the caffeine high.
Also, keeping a food journal gives you multiple regulated chances to write down any feelings or current events throughout the day in addition as you break to eat.
