Mood swings, visualized

[donquixote42]

Four months ago, I started keeping track of my emotional state. Every evening, I would review the day and quantify my emotions on a scale from 0 to 1 (with steps of 0.25) - I have substituted the numbers with letters (A-E) & colors. Here are the categories that I use:

• █ A - gravely depressed/suicidal
• █ B - depressed
• █ C - without any significant emotion
• █ D - happy
• █ E - great

The intermediate █ black lines indicate I have self-harmed on a particular day.

Key takeaways:

1. I seem to be gradually getting more depressed. (Yay! ^^)
2. The two weeks in mid-October were particularly awesome ...
3. There is a negative trend when it comes to the number of days during which I feel neutral (C).

Enjoy :)

Did anything significant occur during the latter part of the month? Great tables by the way, fantastic idea.

This is really interesting. Is it an app or online thing or something you created yourself?

Yeah, got into a quarrel with some of my friends. Plus a bit of unrequited love for good measure :)

Nah, just a spreadsheet and manually collected data. The only bit of automation is having a Siri Shortcut that queries me for the mood every day at 10PM.

Sorry about your darkening mood!

It's alright :)
Thankfully, my mood has improved significantly at the beginning of the month.

This is so cool! Like a bullet journal for technical people or something
