I never use the mood thingy. I don't want to declare that I feel horrible today or whatever. Its defeating and I think I gain more from affirmations that suggest how I 'want' to feel and think and be. Stating that I feel horrible or that I am angry or anything negative like that has a way of giving the negative message a stronger foothold in my brain. Declaring a negative, even if it is reality, is not affirming for me. I don't need fuel for a pity party. I can flame one up all by myself. And if I were to see day after day after day of depressed, anxious, sad, etc etc it would make me feel that much worst. Like why bother!

I think mood tracking for the purpose of providing information to a pdoc or therapist has value but I have no pdoc or therapist involved in my recovery so not much value for me personally there either. My journal is record enough for me.
