Does anyone have a mood log they use that you can help me out and just tell me how to set one up? Thanks!
(I had an example but I lost it... and everytime I want to write in my mood log, I don't have one set up so I never do it) I think I should have one set up and ready to go BEFORE I need to use it haha.

I just keep a journal I write in every morning and every night where I write a short sentence or two about how Im feeling, what I need to accomplish that day or just general writing whats on my mind...
Im sorry I cant help you out because I dont know what you were feeling or are feeling...your therapist doesnt want to know how I feel about whats going on in my life, they want to know how you are feeling so no one can really help you do this kind of homework because they are not you.
to do this all you need to do is write down what ever you are feeling. close your eyes and decide whether you are happy, sad excited, depressed or what ever other feeling words that come to you.
a suggestion...read your past posts...I read some of them and I found out that you do know how to write about what you are feeling about things..so maybe if you read your past posts they can show you other times when you wrote about your feelings and what made you feel those ways..
