Susan an ADDA Health Storylines user, said: “At the beginning I used the To Do lists and the Daily Moods tracker because they really help me get a sense of how I am doing on a daily basis. I just click on a mood icon and then input why I am feeling that way. It helps me to not get totally overwhelmed by a feeling that I may be having and that helps me better manage my moods. Then, I started to use the Routine Builder. I like the way I can put in a routine that I want to create, it reminds me and I can keep track of how well I am doing keeping up with my routine through the history graphic. I also am using the Journal as it helps me makes sense of things like the mood tracker. My Storylines which summarizes all of my inputs would be valuable to take to my doctor as it is concise enough to make sense of things and I would be able to show my doctor what has been going on since the last time we met. I may be changing my medications soon and if I do the medication tracker and the symptom tracker will be very helpful for me to see how well the medication is working as you can see a direct relationship between treatment and symptoms.”
