A couple years ago, I was looking for an app to keep track of my water intake because I wanted to drink a certain amount but kept forgetting how much I drank.
The app I found also had a mood log and multiple health trackers. So I started to use them. I fell off doing it when my phone broke a year ago, but I’ve been thinking about using it again.
Have you ever kept a mood log? Have you found any patterns?
I keep a journal in which I write my moods, but also general things which probably impact it, so its not “mood specific” as such, but patterns do emerge and it helps me get out of a bad mood quickly because I know what causes it now. 
I also tried a water tracker, but didn’t keep it up, so what I do now is simply have a glass of water in between every hot drink I have. It seems easier to remember and keeps me hydrated since I do drink various hot beverages throughout the day.
Much too busy fitting in with everyone else’s mood swings to have any myself. 
Nice! I keep a journal also but it’s separate from the app.
The app keeps track of things like sleep, energy, gratitude, nutrition, exercise, etc. I just saw a neat feature that does a correlation between activities and sleep, mood and energy. They gave an example of meditation and video games and how they affected mood, sleep and energy. I’m thinking of trying it out.
Sounds exhausting. 
I keep a weight log and a rain log each in a spreadsheet, also keep a travel journal, it used to be in notebooks but the place got cluttered up with books no one ever looked at. Now it is online but I don’t think anybody looks at that either.
After looking at the correlations in the app., it makes me wonder if there’s any correlation between those two. 
This is the app in case you’re curious about what I mean by the correlations tracking.
My family want me to start a journal and mood log. I need to keep track of blood sugar, food diary, exercise diary and because Im afraid of everything these days and brood over things and cannot seem to get things in proportion they think I should start keeping track of how my moods is.
I had some guy at Eon really upset me on the phone about not returning credit I was owed, it took me three weeks to build up courage to ring them again to get it sorted out. I didnt used to be like this,
Good on you for getting it sorted. Companies can be so frustrating these days. Customer service gets worse all the time.
Oh dear, I’m sorry you feel vulnerable like that. Do you think your confidence has taken a bashing because of lockdown?
No, that’s too much navel gazing for me. My best mood times are when I’m busy and I get out and get on with it 
Hi Maree.
Yes most definitely. I went into lockdown early March and stayed in my house alone, never going out In the August I found out that rats had made a nest against my kitchen wall and from there found their way into the walls and eventually the bungalows loft. I couldn’t go out because of the covid as I am a vulnerable person healthwise and couldn’t go and sit in the garden because of my rat phobia.
It all affected me both physically and mentally. I got myself in a terrible state. Luckily, I am starting to come out of it now
If I kept a mood log, I dread to think what I would write in it today.
I’m not very good at mood logs, I might feel a bit pissed off for five minutes but something comes a long to lift the spirits.
Blokes don’t really do moods.
I do. 
Oh my, you had it tough. Take things gently and be kind to yourself. Nice that you’re posting on here. A bit of our nattering and nonsense might do you good!
