Searching for the lightswitch

It is as though a switch, hidden inside me where I cannot find it, was turned on. I am my normal self this morning. I have searched unsuccessfully for the location of this switch. I have no option but to keep searching. Looking at my blog, here are days I was in a funk: 11/1, 10/24, 10/8, 9/20, 9/1, 8/28, 8/14 There's no apparent pattern, but this is a very limited sample. Although I have been tinkering with my Effexor dosage in an effort to reduce the side-effects, I've been having these kinds of off-days for years, so I don't think the drugs are the cause. Too bad I didn't keep a mood log from before I started my blog. I know it's not realistic to expect every day to be sunshine and lollipops. My concern is that my moods don't seem to be related to any specific event. I'm not sad or angry about something, I'm just sad or angry. I wake up some days feeling out of sorts for no apparent reason. A detailed mood log along with a diet, exercise, and event log would probably help pinpoint the cause. Hehe, when I'm feeling good, I think I don't need to do that kind of thing, and when I'm feeling bad, I think that kind of thing is useless crap. I can hear my therapist saying with good-natured humor, "Well, the choice is entirely up to you. Do the work or not. I can't force you." Thanks for the comments yesterday. They helped.
