Hi there everyone: Another site I use is facingus.org. There is a wellness tracker,wellness plan, media room and wellness books with tips from others or keep your own. You can set your profile to private. I find this helpful to use to monitor my progress, and be aware if I am in for an crash. The only problem is when I am switching or manic or depressed I don't realiaze I am crashing until too late. The Wellness Plan is a model of the WRAP (wellness recovery action plan) by Maryellen Copeland on depression. Online you keep track of your progress on the goals and you can change them according to your situation. I really hope it is helpful to others as it has been for me. Have a great week everyone, Thanks for this website & forum & great people to share their stories.... :cool:

Good Morning: I hope everyone is doing well. I found this website very valuable to keep track of my moods, treatment, symptoms etc....Very good coping tool if you remember to fill it out.....or if your depression allows you to. www.patientslikeme.com (You can keep track of your moods in a graph format and it compares your mood from last login). When you logon you can record your instant mood, and get alerts to remind you to fill out daily or instant mood charts. With all your stats you can ask for a "doctor visit sheet". I find this website very valuable and you can compare your symptoms/meds and conditions with others. The website will keep you a comparison of your mood from last logon. I hope you find it useful as I have....

Hi Everyone: I use www.facingus.org and there is an online jrnl you can keep private. There is also an Wellness Tracker, Wellness Plan, and Wellness books with tips from others. This sight is run by DBSA (Depression & Bipolar Support Alliance. The wellness plan is on the same lines as the "WRAP" created by Mary Ellen Copeland, to monitor with your depression. WRAP is Wellness Recovery Action Plan, which is a plan to montior if you are going in a depression etc.... When you login privately, there is a record when you have logged in and answered the questions. This works for me and I hope it will work for someone else. Thank you i hope everyone has a great week......Windsybarbie Thanks so much for everyone being here, this is a great community....

Hi: I found www.kobobooks.com is a site which is part of Chapters/Indigo. You can sign up for FREE and you can subscribe for FREE books and look at them online. For distraction I subscribed free to a teenager book. You can also purchase books as an ebook and sometimes it is cheaper than paperback or hard copy....Happy Reading......

Hi There: The books that are really talking to me in my healing journey from DID & PTSD are: "Self Therapy" by Dr Jay Earley and explains IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy) created by Dr Richard Scwartz. You can talk to your inner family on your own or with an IFS therapist and he has a great website and free newsletters and blogs. Can I mention websites here???? "8 Keys to Trauma Recovery" by Babette Rothschild and "Innocence Heroes" by Belleruth Naparestek. These books explain how your right brain works in your limbic system during a trauma and guided imagery. Belleruth has CD's for depression, stress etc...that may be useful for others. Since I am NOW working on repressed memories, these books have been speaking to me. I hope they help someone as, just like they are helping me. Thx
