I have shifted some of my unhappiness into being all right. My happiness level maintains its level, in fact it received a .6% bump from some of that Ok. These results are with no interference by experiment from me.
I'm a little bit surprised at the decrease in unhappiness. I had been going through a lot of stress at work for a very long time and often felt too exhausted to write, or some nights even feed myself a proper dinner. It is a good sign for me, because I am about to go on vacation and I feel ready to move that Ok to Happy. I even remember saying to myself "Well it looks like my last month in this position is going to be as awful as my first." For reference I had to work 20 days in a row my first month and then had 1 day off and rounded out the month with 10 more work days. Wild ride. Glad it is over. Part of the reason that I started tracking my mood is because I started seeing a therapist due to stress and a resurgence of depression from long ago and it was suggested that I journal my feelings. Mood Panda was much quicker than pulling out my journal. When times were bad I would log my mood as soon as I had a free moment. It is nice to take a moment out of your day to vent and be honest to strangers. Sometimes you get hugs. You can take a moment and see recent publicly posted logs, and sometimes your problems don't seem so bad. Sometimes.
I'm about to be on vacation so I am sure that there will be an increase in mood. I am tying up loose ends for my move across the country and that sort of stress feels very manageable, especially when I'll be sitting on a beach next week. I will make it a point to log my mood daily so I'll have updates more frequently. I am very excited to see the Dark Tower on Thursday. Tickets to see the 7:19(!) show!
