when you think every day is bad read through it you may be surprised that you do have good days. count your blessing stay positive.x

I don't Janice. its not something I have thought have doing. May give it a try x

[janicecarrington]

it was the cpn who suggested it to me a few years ago. its really surprising when you look back, you think every day as been the same. but when you read back it can be very surprising how many good days there are as well. just 1 positive thing makes a lot of difference.x

I have always kept a diary for myself and my feelings in the hope that I find triggers to my depression, anxieties etc, the thing is when I feel 'n ormal' I tend not to write in it, but when distressed cant stop writing init

My son has ADHD, ODD, learning difficulties, dyslexia and severe behavioural problems, I have kept a diary for him since he was about 18mths old, he is now 12 yrs, I have felt it handy to show Dr's etc when trying to explain his behaviours and like myself to try and find triggers. It helps me also when I think my son is getting worse I read back to yrs ago and see it isnt him getting worse it's me not coping as well
