I am finding it hard to be consistent tracking my moods because of the following problems:
1. Sometimes my moods switch in the middle of the day and that is hard to document 2. Sometimes I don't know how to define my moods 3. Sometimes plain old don't feel like doing it, so my records are very spotty. I think I'd do better with a physical method of tracking as opposed to electronic. Anyway, how do you do it? I know I need to start. |

The Bipolar Workbook has pages you can copy for mood charting with pen and paper. For computer based tracking I like moodtracker.com its free, fairly comprehensive and has a place to journal to tell details of the day. It includes 2 times a day of moods, sleep, anxiety, irritability, periods if you have them. It also graphs the info or can be put in journal view. I figure I'm on the computer anyway, it takes just a few minutes to do.

I use T2 Mood Tracker on my android phone. It was developed by The National Center for Telehealth and Technology for the DOD (Department of Defense). I think it was originally developed to track PTSD but it is customizable. I added tracking for SI, irritability, and mania/depression. It gives you a chart of your moods, and allows you to enter notes as many times a day as you want. You can back it up to your SD card, and you can create reports in pdf or csv formats to export. I've been using it since March and I love it.

I took bits of other mood logs and made my own that worked for me. I put am, pm, and night because my mood changes often too. I use pen and paper. I find that easier to take to appointments.

I second the optimism app. Only takes a minute, when I have changes I write a note. I also put my dreams in there.

I use the Bipolar Monthly Mood Chart over at http://www.psychtoolkit.com/uploads/...v_06-24-11.pdf It really helps me a lot, I just print it out for a few months at a time. I like writing things down better than using apps, I love that it also has a page with boxes for each day just for comments

when i was on a DID group (i don't have it, but was interested in helping those that did), i came across a simple chart thing- where you just place an X by the number of how you are feeling (if that makes sense)

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
