Organising with Tags and Mood Tracking
As your diary grows, tags and mood tracking help you organise entries and spot patterns in your emotional wellbeing. These features are available on all subscription tiers.
Using Tags
Tags are labels you create to categorise your diary entries. They make it easy to find entries on a particular topic later.
Creating Tags
- When writing a diary entry, click Add Tag.
- Type a tag name (for example, "hormones", "good day", "appointment", "milestone").
- Select an existing tag from your library or create a new one.
- You can add multiple tags to a single entry.
Managing Your Tag Library
Your tags are stored in a personal tag library:
- View all your tags from the tag management section in My Diary.
- Edit tag names to keep them consistent.
- Delete tags you no longer use.
Filtering by Tag
To find entries with a specific tag:
- Go to My Diary.
- Use the tag filter to select one or more tags.
- Only entries with the selected tags will be shown.
This is particularly useful for reviewing all entries about a specific topic — such as every entry tagged "voice training" or "mood low".
Mood Tracking
Each diary entry can include a mood indicator that records how you were feeling at the time.
How Mood Tracking Works
- When creating or editing an entry, select a mood from the available options.
- The mood is saved as part of the entry.
- Over time, your mood data accumulates to reveal patterns.
Spotting Emotional Patterns
By reviewing your mood data across entries, you can identify trends such as:
- How your mood changes around medication adjustments.
- Whether certain events or milestones correlate with emotional highs or lows.
- Seasonal or cyclical patterns in your emotional wellbeing.
This information can be valuable for self-reflection and for sharing with a therapist or support worker if you choose.
Combining Tags and Mood
Tags and mood work together to give you a rich picture of your journey. For example, you might filter by the tag "hormones" and then review the mood associated with each entry to see how medication changes have affected your emotional state.
