#daylio app

[krisrisk]

thanks to @monkeymeghan i have tracked my mood, habits, symptoms and tasks for 93 days in a row

I'm so thankful you inspired me to get the app again, it's been very helpful in finding causes of things and pacing myself.

I felt so much worse when I started, and today I even made myself some goals to keep record of some healthy habits. It found me at the right moment, too, because it doesn't stress me out and give me anxiety that I must do things. Rather, I can now track and see my actual capability for things, which means i am working with my body and brain within the real world, instead of bending over backwards to make everything fit into my own steretypical idea of "how things are supposed to be"

It took some time to set it up as it now is, and it is ever evolving, but i am very grateful for it.

I am surprised at how many positive days I had this year. I know I have good moments, but to look back and see that many whole days that I considered “good” or “great” is nice.

Today was my birthday. My sister called me late this morning to ask if I wanted to do lunch. We met at Perkins and had breakfast for lunch, and then a slice of pie. It was really nice to hang out and catch up.

Then I went to Kohl’s to get a new lightweight sweatshirt/jacket to have for London. The one I picked was on sale, and with my $5 birthday coupon was only $12.49!

On my way home I stopped at work to get my free birthday drink. They sang happy birthday to me at the order box (I did drive through), and wrote on my cup, which made me smile.

When I did my nightly check in on Daylio, it made me feel old by telling me how many days since I was born. Lol

All in all, not a bad day. :)

Hi sorry I saw that you used daylio and I've been wanting to use it to track my system and mental health stuff but I'm not sure how to go about it and I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your daylio groups and activities so I could have an idea of how to go about it. If that's comfortable with you

Apologies for the very late reply ...

We didn't receive a notification, I only saw it due logging in on the computer device...

Apologies for the Dutch language.

But we keep the basic 5 "emotions" but have a separate category for the actual emotions, because you can feel multiple things, and sometimes can "enthousiasm" either feel Perfect or Good, it isn't always one thing or another.

This is just an example. I love in the monthly stats you can select which activity (or which headmate ;) ) was fronting and filling in moods. You don't always have to do it, or fill always every category in. Just sign in what applies.

You can even in the search function check back on a headmate

And here are the category thingies you were actually asking for:

I hope this works, feel free to enter our DMs if you have further questions

Kind regards,

Romano

Is there a mood/symptom tracker app that you'd recommend? I find I always forget to log things and when I do remember to do that, I rarely have the energy to write lengthy explanations of how I feel like most journaling apps will make you do ://

yes oh my god Daylio app is what i use every day. you can create custom buttons and moods for how you're feeling and what you're experiencing and what you do etc (everyone sets it up differently), i even have my meds in there to make sure i remember to take them. i use the premium option so i have more to customise because i find it easier that way but most of the time just clicking on what i've been doing/experiencing does most of the journalling for me. there's an option to add notes and photos at the end too! i'll add some screenshots of mine so you can see some examples of what i have in my app:

i hope this helps!
