I'm Trying A New App To Track My Symptoms/ Moods

[7Cs]

I have a really hard time remembering how my week was when I go to therapy. A lot of the time I go in and the T asks, "How was your week?" and all I can say is not bad or good or I don't know or even; I think it got pretty bad for a few days but I'm not really sure what happened.

So I got T2 Mood Tracker last night and I'll see how it goes. It does straight forward mood tracking (which is what I want) with out all the bells and whistles. It helps you track ptsd, depression, brain trauma, and or anxiety symptoms. You can also input other mood/ symptom clusters you want to watch (I added a dissociation cluster) but you can't add symptoms to the existing clusters. It does allow you to make notes and you can download and send reports to your T. And it's free. :)


I've gotten a few other apps for mood/ symptom tracking that lasted about a week before I removed them. One just couldn't chart my rapid swings (only one mood a day allowed lol) and the other was more like a therapy app (PTSD Coach) and had lots of little supportive things that would be great for a PTSD newbie. PTSD Coach also has an app for supporters but we haven't tried it.


Has anyone else tried an app to track their moods and symptoms?

No, but I've thought about tracking the drama at work!

I will check into it, that sounds like an awesome app, I frequently forget what I was going to talk to my t about.

I haven't but this sounds like such a good idea. I have the same problem when I go to therapy that I can't remember what happened since the last time I was there.
Thank you for bringing this up.

Yes, I have been using the mood tracker app for several days now. Forget how I found it but glad you brought it up here. (I think I googled it).
It allows me lots of space to enter notes, which I need due to my poor memory and is simple enough to use.

You can customize it, though I have not seen the need to do that, at least not yet.

It's worth having a look at to see if it might work for you.

Is this the one you got @Sophie's Daddy ?

I don't have a cell phone, a smart phone, or iPhone.

I wouldn't know how to use one if I did, but I do have a desktop and I think that mood tracking is a great idea. I was all over the place during the day yesterday and could have used an app to help me track my mood(s).

I am all for anything that helps a person to heal and just wanted to say thanks for posting this thread.

Have you tried looking in the Microsoft App Store @Lionheart777 ? You may be able to download it on your computer.

I used the iMoodJournal app for this exact reason. I liked the functionality but I was all over the map, trying to check in with it three times a day and it got laborious. I liked that you can add a quick note to go with a ranking of feelings from low to high, and tag frequently used words or phrases (like "headache" or "foggy" or whatever). It's a great idea- I just never stick with that stuff.

Sorry for the delay. 0-:

Yes, if you haven't picked the right app for you yet, it allows you to also graph your responses to get an idea of the fluctuations on a daily basis.

Very satisfied with it.
