Just as I imagined, I found a number of sites that allow you to chart your mood, e.g.
http://www.moodpanda.com/ https://www.moodtracker.com/ I've neither used not registered for either but I might consider it if anyone can recommend it as a tool to help identify patterns or imminent blackspots. Anyone here found charting their moods useful in any way or even unhelpful at all?

I haven't tried a mood tracker exactly, but I do a lot of journal's and diaries. It's another way to keep track I guess, but with more detail. I just found it as a good venting method.. to prevent myself from burdening other people with my problems.. But I think I'll try one of those, just to see how it works out.

I've found the mood tracking helps considerably to show to my pdoc because I can never quite remember all those pertinent details off the top of my head. And the wellness plan reminds me what coping skills and supports I have when I need them. |

Though writing IS a good way to blow off steam, I agree. I just wanted to point out that it's okay to share. Isn't that what we're here for? To be supported and support one another. -K |

I use mood tracker weekly and print and take to Pdoc appointment. Helps me to remember how my month was between appointments. I think my overall willingness to have attention to my moods has helped me cope.
best to you. |

i use moodtracker.com too & i'd recommend it. i also talk to my journal more than people IRL about my deepest, darkest depression thoughts. i feel like the people IRL would be shocked if i was totally candid.

I've used MoodTracker and I found it useful because it really showed me how badly I was doing. Pretty much every day I was recording moderate to severe depression and/or anxiety and/or irritability and this was over several months. It definitely made me realize that I needed to get more professional help. Since re-starting medication and getting back into therapy I haven't been back to MoodTracker, but this thread made me think about it again, so thank you for that! I do think it is a useful tool. I also really like the sound of the wellness site that RecoveryInstructor mentions.

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