Last time I saw my psychologist she gave me some homework to do until next week. She gave me an empty schedule and told me to write what I do every day (every hour) and to grade how I feel on a scale between 0 and 10.

I like schedules but I have two problems with doing this homework:

1. I'm really worried that it won't be perfect. By that I mean I worry that I won't manage to fill out the schedule properly or grade it truthfully. I worry that I'll make some sort of mistake and for example put down a 4 when it should be a 5. Knowing how I feel is something that's quite difficult for me and I often don't know what I feel except that I'm feeling bad.

2. I find it difficult that I don't know exactly what each number on the scale means. I know that 0 basically means I want to die or that I can barely face the day and just want to disappear, and that 10 means everything is absolutely awesome. I also know that 5 means I'm not thinking about how I feel, 3 means I feel crappy but that I don't want to die, and that 8 means things are going really well. But what about 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9? I know I never go above 5 but I find it difficult when things aren't specific.

Do you ever worry that you won't be able to do the therapy homework well enough and that it'll lead to the psychologist misunderstanding things?
