How to Use a Mood Tracker

We all have days where we feel off, but when those days start blending together, it can be hard to see the bigger picture. That's where a mood tracker comes in.

What is a mood tracker?

A mood tracker is a simple daily log where you record how you're feeling across key areas including anxiety, mood, sleep, and energy. Over time, patterns emerge that are very difficult to catch in the moment. You might notice your anxiety spikes every Thursday, or that your mood reliably falls two day after a bad night’s sleep.

How to use the Wildwell Psychiatry 2-Week Tracker

This free tracker is designed to be low-effort and high-insight. Here's how to get the most out of it:

• Be consistent, not perfect. Fill it out at about the same time each day. A rough rating is far more useful than no rating.

• Use the notes section. Even a few words can help jog your memory when you look back.

• Bring it to your appointments. Two weeks of tracked data gives your doctor a window into your daily experience to help recognize patterns together
