Mood tracker confusing

[Xila31]

Hi, I'm new here. I started using the mood tracker yesterday. I'm so confused. I am feeling manic, so I put manic, now it says my mood is excellent by the little smiley guy. I am deffinately not feeling excellent. Manic doesn't make me feel good at all. It makes me scared, anxiety and panicy, my heart races and my stomach and body are tense. I feel like the inside of my body is trying to claw its way out. That is not an excellent mood. I don't have that euphoric mania. I have irritable, annoyed, frustrated, no concentraion. Everything inside of me is racing and it feels like I'm spinning out of control.

So... I'm trying to track my mood for myself and to show my doctor. I don't want it to say my mood was excellent when I felt like this. But if I stick with saying bad or horrible it is like saying depression? What advice do you have on this? I know it sounds dumb....

Okay, thank you. I just want to get as accurate a picture as possible since I'm new at this. I just started taking my meds about 20 minutes ago right now. First time on meds since after my youngest was born and they put me on some crazy anti-psychotic that gave me massive panic attacks. So, I'm a bit nervous. That's why I want to track my mood.

I did mine just now and looked at other people's who had them public and the thing is to check off all of the boxes for all of the questions. If things aren't going well overall then the results should be accurate.
