anyone else here use apps to journal or keep track of moods and daily bipolar mental health? currently I use 3.
I use:
eMoods
daylio
moodpaths.
and I also journal in a composition notebook. but that isn't an app lol.
anyone have any suggestions for any other apps that you all use? maybe something better? or should I just use pen and paper?

I use my blog to keep track of how things are going. My case manager and pdoc have each asked to see it at times to see where I have been lately.
