Keeping a mood log

I have discovered that it's time to keep a log of my ever changing moods.

I suffer from depression and go through many swings, hoping keeping track will help answer some questions.

Late September I started getting very irritable and pissy, even hating the dog...I thought it was just the lead up to my mini-vaction to see Michelle and just wanting out of my day to day. While I was there I had a nice break but was still 'meh'. When I got home I slid into a major depressed episode, days of feeling worthless, feeling my family would be better with out me, not suicidal thoughts more like walk away and save them from my sadness. I was worried about my boys thinking I was mad and crying because of them. I tried to tell them some people just have sad days. I guess they took it ok.

I saw Dr Spellings and she added Viibryd to my Wellburtin after about a day I started feeling more normal. I feel like I am on the upswing, laughing again, planning how I will lose this weight I gained and reaching out to friends again. I am still easily ticked off but managing a little better.
