My therapist printed out and gave me the card listed as Diary Card 4Download halfway down this page to try and fill out, but I'm not quite understanding what to do with all the ones "numbered" with an octothorpe instead of an actual number. I don't get how everything under ACCEPTS has a "#" instead of a number while everything under, say, core mindfulness and IMPROVE has numbers, yet cognitive distortions have #'s too.


Did they just eff up the sheet? I just noticed the actually numbered ones are kinda out of order in that if you replace the octothorpes in "increase positive emotions" "ACCEPTS" and "Accepting reality" it actually flows numerically.

I think I'm going to download it myself and (obviously put in the right numbers) but change the cognitive distortion ones to be Greek symbols instead. I feel like using personalization and blame should use a different label system than using radical acceptance or assertiveness. Labeling should be π, it only seems right.

...okay. Downloaded it (to windows so in Microsoft Excel) and then uploaded it to google drive to edit it (because I'm a cheap byttch who won't pay for microsoft) and all the numbers popped up. Silly Excel (that the file automatically opens in on most computers I'm guessing). @unaluna the coding pro any insight as to why it does that?


Still replacing the cognitive distortions with greek symbols though

Sorry. I can load sql using manipulated text data files to create gorgeous test data, but i kinda hate excel.

[MuddyBoots]

Excel does suck in so many glorious ways

[unaluna]

My gripe with it was the dominant consultant group was using it to validate their programming. Problem was, excel allowed only ten keys, while the sql database that the programs would actually run on could have an unlimited number of keys. So running against excel data, you got "valid" results, running against real data, you got b s. But mgmt wouldnt listen to me, they just fired me.

If you can’t beat em, fire em

Is that how that goes?

[unaluna]

I got redirected the first time I tried to go to that page. It turns out you've got two of the same URL in that link (doubtless not officially called a WRL, though it could be ) Anyway, with a haploid URL I found the Diary Cards page here: Diary Cards | DBT Self Help

I clicked the "download" link and the file got opened with Open Office as a very formatted-up .XLS spreadsheet. For the first few seconds I was seeing "##" in place of some of the numbers but they did all eventually turn into numbers. My impression was that it just took Open Office a while to finish displaying that page.

O.T.:
I read a while ago that Open Office was no longer being updated (or maybe maintained). I don't know if it's still available for downloading but the copies that I have still work pretty well and I'm planning to hang onto them as long as I have Windows versions that will run them.
