Mood Tracking through Colour
Hell-oh BPD forums, how are we? Good to hear. I'm a bit iffy today, up and down, but it's good. How do I know that?
It's a bit... gory. Sorry, that should be G.O.R.Y...B.
I've been tracking my moods in various different ways over the past few months - a great app called emoods, a whiteboard and markers, a scale of 1-10. But I've realised that I can't stay with those because it takes too much work. Im a visual person, and a visual learner. So Ive started using different coloured cells in a spreadsheet - no columns, just filling the sheet with colours, of the different emotions I feel at different times (either whenever I notice, but always at 12 midday and an average of the day before bed).
I use gory colours (heh. Not going to get old.) - Green (jealousy and abandonment), Orange (Chirpy and happy), Red (Anger), Yellow (anxious) and Blue (sad). This way I can get a lovely rainbow of colours that kinda charts my head. It looked really pretty when i did it on paper - so this will be cool.
My question - do we track our moods? If so, how do you do it? Do you think it has benefits?
(PS Any other acronym for GORYB would be appreciated. Best I have is BORGY, but Im Star Wars not a Trekky 😛 )
