My website that I use to journal and track my MH is going away. I am looking for a replacement. Any suggestions?

It is pretty customizable.

Summary of the application.

In a nutshell, the purpose of self-tracking is to learn more about yourself and achieve better health.

By using the Optimism apps you can monitor the patterns in your life, to identify the negative influences (or "triggers") that impact on your health, and the early warning signs that your health is deteriorating.

Optimism can help you find the small things, as well as the big, that help you to stay well. It can show you the impact of positive strategies that you adopt on your well-being.

It helps you to plan for better health. By bringing together your knowledge of your triggers, early warning signs and symptoms, and wellness strategies you can develop a plan for remaining well. That is the key. The purpose of the software is to plan for wellness, not just keep a record of illness.

Rather than be a passive recipient of treatment, or just seek treatment in reaction to a new episode, Optimism can help you to have more involvement in your health and a greater sense of control. In general people achieve better health outcomes when they educate themselves and are proactive with their health.

There are many health professionals who love Optimism. By tracking your mental health you can provide your clinician with a precise, detailed history. It removes the problem of memory recall and gives an accurate picture of what has been happening. It gets to the bottom of what is or isn't working, which helps them to give more relevant, appropriate advice and treatment.

Every person's illness is different. "One Size Fits One". For many people treatment is difficult, a slow process, or not entirely successful. Optimism is designed to help increase your chance of success

You can still create an account if you directly to the login page; however, I've been told the database server will be pulled at the end of June.

It allows for discrete data entry, a notes section, and a wellness plan section.

Optimism Online is going away? How sad! It was absolutely the best out there.

Yep - I inquired about purchasing it; however, his reply left me feeling like he would want too much money for it. He didn't give me an exact amount. I've sent one more email back to him. I'd love to purchase it and just leave it as is until I had the time to learn iOS as that seems to be the biggest problem. With the next iOS version, the app won't work and I guess it is already having some problems with the current version and he doesn't have time to keep it up. He also is not financially breaking even since his agreement with a pharmaceutical company has ended.

It is the best I've found in terms of a well rounded, all in one place to chart one's MH related needs, issues, topics.

Journaling I need help with and I don’t know what else to do when I am emotional a wreck and I need someone to vent to and o want to be a person that can give active advice about stuff that is bothering me and let kids and families know it’s ok to cry laugh and have your moment. My dream in life is to be a inspirational speaker and talk about my struggles and my issues that I went through w my mental and my disabilities and my career and how I can give advice to children and parents about what you can do to help your kid w there issues. For example, if they are getting bullied at school for the way they look talk speak and have problems w there personal issues or getting made fun of for something stupid. My opinion when people have kids at a very young age and have disabilities and have a lot of mental problems w what is going on in there life they can tell anyone and please anyone give me advice to write blog or something. I want to to start writing as soon as possible.
