Have you ever tried Mood Graphing? I used to use one from Lamictal but they dont seem to have it anymore but I found one at Abilify.com which is really good... http://www.abilify.com/bipolar/tools/signupconfirm_patient.aspx?ga=diagnosed#
I found it really helped in reaching the right mix and being aware of my triggers, Real good stuff when used right.

Just thought I'd bring it up again.

I use moodtracker.com

I like it much more than the paper version. You can journal with it too. You can also sign up your tdoc or pdoc to view it, in addition to printing it out if desired.

Did you pay? or do you just use the basic service?

deleted_user 01/01/2010

Murphy, I don't pay for the moodtracker service- I like the free one just fine. I really am liking it!

I like the med reminder text messages from moodtracker. I don't pay either but I really like it.

This is the link to my fave paper chart that you can print out:

I use 2, one being moodtracker.com, mainly for the graphing. I also created my own because I felt I needed to have more options like pain tracking to see if there was a correlation. Plus with mine, I can identify if I'm feeling both up and down at the same time or if I just shifted throughout the day. On moodtracker.com you can only do one or the other, but not both.

I couldn't get it to work for me, I have a mac maybe thats' why.

I had forgotten about moodtracker.com. Its been so long since Ive used it. With my emotions in so much flux I need to start seeing how things are panning out each day.

there is a website
patientslikeme.com

that I have used before. It has a pretty thorough and user friendly way of charting your moods. And like this site you can invite caregivers to join. I do believe they offer some supprt groups as well. But I just use it to rate my mood. They also send you daily reminders, and then you do a monthly evaluation at the end of the month.

Interesting, I'll have to try Mood tracker.
