I actually sort of like the linear 1-10 type thing (well 0-10 in this case), though it's a bit difficult. I like categorizing things and my thinking tends to be rather black-or-white. However, I do need to know exactly what the numbers mean or I won't be able to do the homework properly. I guess I'll just do my best and then I'll talk to the psychologist next week and let her know I thought it was quite difficult.

I honestly don't see how useful a bunch of numbers could possibly be for her.
I'm afraid there's not really enough space for that. On the paper I mean.

Thank you. I'm sure my therapist didn't intend for it to be so stressful either. She wasn't even sure it was a good idea for me to write how I feel because it might make me too stressed out (at first she just wanted me to fill out the schedule so she could see what the week looks like), but she told me to try anyway.
