**TLDR** HI, I'm Dan, I made a thing I'm sure exists (but is probably not free) and would like anyone who cares to benefit from it for free. It's a mood tracker for underwriting and legal purposes basically.

_____________________________________________

Hi, my name is Dan. I'm here because I'm a "high functioning" bipolar person who created a semi-automatic way to log and track daily mood, meds, energy levels, red flags, and medication Compliance (among other stuff) and I'd like others to benefit from it for free.

In my case I plan to use this to establish a record of stability so I can attempt to get actual (private) disability insurance (the state covers less than 50% of my salary as a cap so the second I lose it I'm in huge trouble without a supplemental policy). This is a long term goal, I'm going to need a couple of years of records for this to matter.

Supposedly this log helps (according to chatgpt) :

* Tracks daily symptoms, mood, sleep, focus, and productivity for self-awareness and pattern detection.

* Creates a timestamped, structured record that supports disability claims or accommodations

* Helps doctors and therapists understand your condition more accurately over time* Provides legal-grade documentation showing severity, frequency, and functional impact

*Supports appeals or reviews by creating a consistent paper trail of your struggles

* Reinforces credibility by showing honest, non-retroactive self-reporting

* Enables monthly backups for safekeeping and historical analysis

* Can be customized with comment fields for edits or late observations (without corrupting original data)

* Easy to automate, mobile-friendly, and 100% private unless shared

For the longest time I’ve had a list of projects I want to do. Some I get started and get set aside. Some get done. Some don’t get started.
I also try to check off what I get done, so I can look back and see that I have got some stuff done.
I finished one of those things on Saturday . (A box for a tabletop airbrush booth)Went out to the workshop, cut up the wood and put it together. Finished it up and brought it the house. Looks great. Fits exactly where I want it to be. I’m happy it’s done. Except...

I look at it and I’m depressed. I did everything right and it feels awful and wrong. There is no reason I should feel depressed.

I got it done. it’s what I wanted. I’ve sat down and thought about it and started journaling about it. I cannot find a reason why I’m depressed about it.

What is wrong with me? Maybe I want everything to be awful. #depressed #accomplished #Broken #Wondering
