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.
You found one that has room for more than just one mood entry per day? Would you mind sharing the link to it? I'd be interested in checking it out. I was only able to find ones that gave me one option for my mood each day which is why I created my own. Thanks
