I keep a mood chart. I use the one on MedHelp.org as all you have to do is tick off symptoms from a list they provide and now it allows you to put in a mood + time you''re having it instead of an average. This set up works for me, other charts/methods I've used I didn't stick to it.
The only benefit I get so far is seeing when my symptoms are blowing out. I don't remember them the next day if I don't chart it or journal about it. I just go with, 'I feel bad' when really there's more going on so the chart helps with that. Still not sure if I'll show my doctor at all. I might show my psychologist down the track as I think it might be more handy for those that see you more regularly?
