Newbie to DC, saying Hi

hi JDK, I might have another format to the mood tracking for you. I have a mood chart for the bipolar that goes from Extreme mania unable to function, slight mania still functioning, normal/stable, slightly depressed still functioning, very depressed not functional. The top has all the days of the month and the bottom has a place to note meds and women's cycles... all I have to do (at lunch) is tick off what level I am at. If I am not stable I add a sheet with the date and take a few notes for my therapist. It is a simple spreadsheet that I print when and how many I need... at home, at work, in my purse, so that I do not really have to look for it ... and when I need to be brought bach to the world of the norms, well, i look at the various sheets and see that I have good days and difficult days. so if you like the computer format you can do a word-processing log or a spreadsheet chart. if you like the scratch of pencil and ink you can print off several sheets of set up a little notebook. I hope I have given you some ideas to "play" with.

Baby steps JDK. We didn't get here over night and it doesn't go away overnight. The realization that there is a problem is the first step. I have difficulty following the progam myself because of my moods. I will go for a week or maybe even only a day and then be off track again. I just pick up where I left off. Don't refer to it as failing to keep up with the program. There is no such thing. You do it and work the program when you can't and when you can't you just do what it takes to get through until you can. It's all about progress. Sometimes it is kind of slow.

Welcome JDK! As Lady said, our program is a great tool. As for our mood tracker, if you feel you have trouble remembering to track try to pair it with another activity such as brushing your teeth or putting on your jammies. With a little practice, it will become routine. Don't hesitate to ask questions! Danielle, Bilingual Health Educator

Hi Lady, thanks for my replying to my first post here. I should be on the same lines as you with regards to the depressed smoker thinking however I still get an inkling that if I try really hard to forget that I quit then I would not be depressed. I guess I could be a few years behind you in my quit though so may be my thinking will change soon. Smoking and emotion masking are definitely linked. Thanks for being honest about the solutions, I had a feeling there was no magic pill. In fact I have so many books on depression and stress and feeling good it is unreal. I already know I will have major troubles filling out the 'Mood Tracker Schedule Thingy' in session 1 as I flit from thing to thing and often forget about such admin. So possibly I could have failed at the first hurdle. Maybe if I only manage to record 1 thing then it may still be enough. I guess I will find out in a week. Glad you are managing all this smokefree though Lady. I hope I am up for the fight too.

Hi JDK. Boy can I tell you about the quitting smoking and depression connection! It has been a struggle and one that has often had me wanting to run back to the comfort of smoking. I keep telling myself that it wouldn't fix anything and I would just be a depressed smoker if I did that. It is a rough road and I really don't have any solutions for you except that this program is a good one just like the SSC. You are not alone and I will try to help you in any way I can. I've been fighting the depression thing ever since I quit. Unfortunatley, it took me about a year to come to the conclusion I needed help.

Hi there. Just popped in to say hi. I am JDK and I apparently scored 55 on the test here, which isn't that great I know. I guess it means that I am probably depressed then. In fact the reason I am here is because I was pointed here by people at the sister site SSC. I have quit smoking for 211 days now (just over 7 months) and ever since day 1 have been showing signs of depression. I try to keep it under control but obviously haven't been doing so well at it. I guess it is very very likely that smoking used to hide my depression. I probably don't think cutting out my entire social life in order to stay quit helped my mood much either. This may sound a bit extreme, but it was the only way I have managed to stay smokefree. Just like my quitting, I am doing this cold turkey. I am not on any medications whilst I am here. So on to week one of the DC sessions for me. I already know that I am rubbish at keeping a mood chart/schedule thingy as I have done many before (I have many many books on the subject). However, I will always continue to give these things a go. What I am hoping the most is that reading here doesn't depress me even further and make me decide to start smoking again. I know that is a possibility but I am willing to take a gamble. Anyway. I hope everyone is having a good friday. Kind Regards JDK
