Gravyyy - when you mean journal:

A book that you write in at a certain time every day e.g. mornings before work, before going to bed...?
Or while you're sitting at work, a Word document you type up?
Do you write every day?
Basically just what you're feeling or other things too?

Do you give this to your psychiatrist when you see them to read, read it to them, or just skim over your own notes before the appointment to remember your emotions?

I know I have been very irritable this weekend, had a short fuse, over-reacted, been very talkative, haven't slept or eaten as much as "normal".

While at this stage I don't know what this means, I still feel it is a step forward to realise actions are "out of the norm".
