This program was designed as a treatment tool for people with mood
disorders. It is my belief that if an individual tracks their moods
consistently for one year, they will have a better understanding of
their cycles, and be better equipped to deal with the changing states.
For those people who are rapid cyclers, have mixed states, or have
very long periods (over a year) of hypomania, you will have to be more
creative in your use of this program.  At this time, the program
allows you to chart daily moods, keep a journal (found in the note
section when you click on insert), chart your menstrual cycle
(obviously a feature just for women) and keep track of your personal
anniversaries (hospitalizations, and major episodes). The one thing
that I hope it allows those with mood disorders to see, and remember
(especially in times of depression), is that the states we go through
are temporary.  If any of you get to the point (and I know this
happens) where life doesn't seem worth living, CALL YOUR DOCTOR (and
if your doctor isn't available, call your therapist, and if your
therapist isn't available, call a crisis line, or 911). My hope for
everyone that has a mood disorder is, that the hours of darkness will
be lifted, and once again you will be certain you hear the very
universe whispering in your ear. My love and strength to all of you
who wear the same color of clothes as I do.
