Hi all! Since my moods can swing pretty intensely, one thing my psychiatrist recommended was for me to track my mood daily. 

Particularly since we've been trying different treatments/meds, I've found it very helpful to be able to visually see if I've been feeling more steady or if I'm still having significant swings. I've noticed that my memory alone is not particularly reliable here - if I'm currently depressed I tend to think I've been depressed longer than I really have, and vice versa.

I made myself a template for tracking mood that I've found really useful, so I thought I'd share for anyone who is interested in doing this sort of tracking! 

You can copy the sheet, update the dates, and print out as many as you need. Since my mood can vary within the day, I shade in any squares I'm feeling during the day to see my full range of mood (e.g., I'll end up with a bar shaded from "Up" to "A Bit Down").

[Here's the template sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zQtOulUwU_g9sjyncrUUFv1eKjMH33lBdNhzGfoej0o/edit?usp=sharing).
