You can also learn alot out about yourself too.I never saw any mood PATTERN untill I actually learnt about bipolar and did an analysis of the last 15 years,then saw a clear pattern of severe ups and downs.Read as much as you can about the various symptoms too of different illnesses so you can prehaps come up with some possibilities.And remember too that things can co-exist,like say you HAD one thing (say bipolar) other things can develop from that (like bipolar could cause social anziety disorder,or medications such as antidepressants can cause mixed states of bipolar.Confusing????Hey good luck,and hope you get to feel better soon,
