I chart my monthly moods with paper and pen. It's a line graph spreadsheet where I can include daily notes for hours of sleep, irritability, anxiety, menses, medication, exercise and pdoc/therapy appts. I like seeing the whole picture on one page.
I used to use the Optimism app. It's great! But for me I just couldn't remember to do it daily. I keep my paper chart on my nightstand and fill it out before bed. Easy peasy.
It took me a while to really figure out a system. I have charts since 2007 so it's really cool to look back on them!!
