I've been using moodscope.com for over a month and find my mood stays somewhere between 15% and 20%. I'm wondering why such a consistently down mood would feel so normal to me...

mine's pretty much a straight line between 20-23, weird. i wouldn't put too much stock in it though...it's not even questions, just one word and your response to the word (which is limited)

if you're worried about being constantly depressed, i would think you need a med adjustment and therapy if you have that option.

I do moodscope, but I forget to do it every day. I am usually around in the 50%'s. My therapist said thats actually normal

You're right MojoPaw, I think I do need another med tweak - I'm thinking the med adjustment 10 days ago isn't working out real well. My next appt is in 3 weeks, I think I'll go back to what I was taking and see if that helps.

I can't afford a therapist but have always thought I could use 2-3 sessions a week for the rest of my life and still only sift through half my craziness.
