Hi all,

My therapist suggested that I keep track of my daily moods as well as events that happen as a way to figure out some of my possible triggers. I am unable to identify/understand my emotions so the idea is that this will help me with that also. I tried bullet journaling not too long ago but I have a really difficult time keeping up with things like that - I lose interest and get bored with it very quickly. I also have a pretty busy life so I dislike having to take extra time to draw out the pages and all that. I'm just hoping to get some suggestions - what has worked for you all as for as tracking these kinds of things?

Thanks in advance!
Hugs from:

Hello lostglow: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

One thing that may be of interest to you in particular, here on PC, is the mood tracker. Here are links to some articles from PsychCentral's archives with regard to the mood tracker, along with a couple of other related articles:

I don't know, of course, if you're here simply seeking advice with regard to this particular concern or if you plan to continue posting. However, should you be planning to continue on (we hope you do)... may I suggest you introduce yourself over on PC's New Member Introductions forum? Here's a link:

Plus there are the chat rooms where you'll be able to interact with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) So please keep posting!

Hi, visitor here, I once I had a dx of personality disorder not otherwise specified, years ago.

I use imoodjournal on my phone, its an app, and I set it to ask me questions randomly throughout the day about my mood that I programed into the app.

Here's something else. Another member posted a thread with regard to something called eMood Tracker. Here's a link to that member's post:

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