[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 656365, member: 8831"] i'm going to third the journaling recommendation--it was the most valuable tool I had--it helped jog my memory, helped show patterns, helped identifying triggers, etc. I personally didn't do anything fancy-I had a weekly calendar planner with two columns (its a "mom" calendar-Susan Boynton)...I used one for actual stuff and the other for quickie notes on the diff kid....could have been one word or a short description. it was an easy system for me to actually implement-at the time there were no fancy apps or anything like that. I still use the same planner to this day, only column two has been mostly blank :). I also kept every.single.one [I]in case[/I], well, of what who knows... I strongly suggest you find a system that works and make yourself notes--no matter how great your memory is, no one ever remembers all of it, particularly when a doctor is looking to you for information. there are formal "mood charts" that you can find online, but I found they were harder to be compliant with for me-I could always use my calendar to go back and fill in if I needed to, but I don't know, it was a pain daily. I am also the number one fan of the parent report that I learned of [I]here[/I]--cant recommend one enough! [/QUOTE]
