daily mood charts

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum. I don't know about mood charts, I have never tried one. But I would recommend getting some books on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Or CBT. It teaches you to be able to control your moods, and that is a lot of our types of problems. Not necessarily how you felt at what point and why... But to be able to control them altogether.

There are so many events in life and we don't have to let them all effect us. In my opinion, that would be nipping it in the bud. I wish you the best. I hope that the mood charts help you. But if you want a good book, you can get one cheap on Amazon. It is called "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns. I got a copy for 6.00. And you receive them quickly.

Keep posting, it does help a lot. We can't discuss suicide on this forum, so we can't discuss your thoughts about it. There is a site called needymeds.com. Some companies will give you medications for a year. As long as you have a prescription. A lot of mental health organizations have what is called a "sliding scale". Sometimes you can get cheap services. Or make a payment plan. Your mental health is very important to life. So ask about a sliding scale, look up the needymeds, and think about looking for some self help books. I really hope you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen...

Cool. Thanks for the advise! Feeling waaaay better today. Its weird... I can usually feel it coming on but it seems to surprise me almost everytime. Even though ive been dealing with this my entire life. I just thought it was normal when I was younger. I wish a cure for all mental illnesses was as easy as taking a couple Tylenol for a headache. Hope we will eventually get there someday. This is the first time ive ever signed up for a forum and actually participated publicly so please forgive my bad forum etiquette if I am not correct in certain ways! A lot of you look all cool with your formal pre & post scripts and whatnot. ANYHOOZLE... thanks for sayin hi to me and being very nice. See you around. Late

I am glad that you found help in the resources. I am glad you are feeling better. At least you sound like you are.

Keep posting and know that we all care...

Hugs, Karen...

Hey mental

Just a welcome from me. When my MDD hit, I had no insurance, $ etc. Call your health dept and they should give youmental health clinic info. It is on a sliding scale, but I never paid a penny. I saw a psychiatrist for meds and a counselor to talk with. They were godsends.

There are resources out there
