You might want to use a mood chart. You can track whatever symptoms are most variable.
You can use the following chart, and modify the symptom scale as you think makes the most sense:

Since I didn't want to track mania, I simply extended the chart such that euthymic remission represented the top of the scale. There are places for you to note external events as well as anxiety. Perhaps you will see a regular periodicity of symptom magnitude.
Unfortunately, many people have "bumps in the road" that occur from time to time for no apparent reason. Of course, women must take into consideration their monthly cycle.
