Journaling and reminders

Journaling and reminders

Hi all,

Am settling into our new rental house.

 

Am getting back into journaling and also finding an Android reminder with alarm on Google play store  so I can add things to it as my memory is shocking & is starting to affect my life.

 

I had an MRI December 2025 all came back fine.

I see my physcologist 20 January.

I don't think there is much more I can do.

 

But I suppose that's life.  I also do mindfulness colouring to help me relax its addictive I like it.

 

Cheers

Hello @Abby6_2025 

I often overlook reminders, i should be more careful.

Something I find helpful with my bipolar is a mood and activity tracker. I use the free version of Daylio.

@Abby6_2025 yes I find Daylio good. I can see my ups and downs and it helps me with trying to follow good routines. And I can see where there are gaps. I've used a free version for several years. There are often ads encouraging me to upgrade to a subscription for more features.

Sorry, I don't remember the other apps - someone posted once recommending several but Daylio was the one I followed up.
