I recently started using a mood chart again. I never could stick with them before, but I found one online then customized it with extra things I wanted to track and it has been much more helpful and easier to stick with.

The chart I use has high/low moods for the day, hours of sleep, meds taken, drug/alcohol use, and weight (twice a month). I added tracking for my m. cycle, headaches, therapy sessions, and bad dreams.

I think it's easier for me to keep up using this chart because it tracks more of what I'm interested in. In the past, I just used the one the doc gave me and I never stuck with it more than a few days.

I think you'll find your chart helpful, especially since you are tracking the particular things that are important to you.

Good luck.
