Getting Ahead of the Next Episode.
I was reading how scientist can tell that you are in depression by voice change and other characteristics that do change while someone is up or down.
Then I thought about my case and what changes. I am bipolar type II plus some rapid cycling. i.e change in movement - activity, tonality, environment preference ( more dark and quiet enviroment and thought, what if I record those and be able to see small changes before it is too late. So I did mostly using my mobile, some apps and some excel, and to be honest the results showed these curves on the most of the factors measured, were going downhill Days Ahead from the day I checked that I am feeling depressed , on my mood calendar.
-How about you?
- What really changes between up and down?
-Can you measure it, and save yourself from the next cycle?
Lets share and shave ourselfves.

Great Dancing Indeed.
But is it you cannot control what is coming or because you realise too late and it is hard to deal with at that time
For me swings come really quick . 2-3 days and I can switch from top to bottom.

Re: Getting Ahead of the Next Episode.
Wow I really like this idea @gi2020! It can be so empowering to identify the factors that might warn of us of a downhill slope. A lot of people find mood diaries help them feel more in control of their illness as they can use proactive measures when they notice symptoms creeping back in. Thanks for sharing

Re: Getting Ahead of the Next Episode.
Yes. And I would help technology for letting us measure things the easy way.
If anyone wants to try I will be happy to share some tips.
