At the advice of my Pdoc, i tried logging moods, and journaling. Then I let it slide and start feeling guilty that its just one more thing I'm neglecting to do. It works different for everyone. After some soul searching i decided that it just wasn't good for me. Everyone is different. What I didn't like was that I started concentrating on every little passing mood and fancy and got to wrapped up in my own head. Then I started micromanaging my life. 8am woke up, 8:05 peed, 8:10 scratched my ***, 8:15 looked out the window. 8:20 went back to bed. You see where this is going....

I occasionally use writing as a tool when I'm having racing thoughts or feel unusually depressed.

That being said, many people find it extremely helpful. I don't mean to be a nay sayer.
