I found a reference via google:

It looks like they only do one mood per day. I would say that if you have significantly different moods in the same day then do what you have done, write it down, look for patterns, and build that into your method.

So if your moods change based on time of day, or experiences during the day, note that as well.

You can go here and print out a mood tracking diary. Maybe it will help some. http://seroquelxr.com/pdf/mood-tracking-diary-print.pdf

I really like the Seroquel charts--thanks for that link. I think I'll use one of the mood charts each week, dividing it into 7 large boxes of 4 of the smaller boxes each, then note my mood when I wake up, at lunch, at dinner, and at bedtime. I've been looking for something like that.
