I love this idea, i’ve used the social factor group a bit like this just too see the effect on mood, but this would be a simpler way of viewing that data!

👍

This would be amazing especially for those of us with BPD. It would allow us to start recognizing patterns

this is great! as someone who is autistic, it’s really helpful for me to track my moods in relation to how certain people make me feel. if i frequently feel negative after being around someone, i know it’s because of them and i can avoid spending more time with them. sometimes it’s hard to see this correlation though because so many things (energy, food, locations, etc.) and other factors can also impact my mood. i’m currently using the symptoms section to track shutdowns and meltdowns but it’s sometimes really difficult to tie those to factors. being able to track specific contacts would be immensely helpful.

Yes! This would be really helpful. They’re could be organized by groups and by individuals. As well as including a notes section.

Another option, would be like how we have foods and factors. Could be adding a factor to moods. Such factors might be adding an interaction with a person.

I love this. I have “argument” in factors and then I describe it in the notes section, but this would pick up on nuances.

This is an excellent idea! The section could look similar to the current “self-improvement” section with a rating system of 1-5.

AMAZING idea! I have terrible social anxiety so this would be so helpful for seeing how anxious I’ve been. Plus, sometimes when I see my best friend it’s great, and sometimes we argue–so the effect the factor “with best friend” has isn’t very reliable, if that makes sense.

I don’t like calling it a rating system for people interactions.

But this works well for people that are in complicated relationship or bad relationship. Simply writing down how a talk or fight, conversation went. Reminding yourself.

REALLY want this!

I like this idea as well. Currently I use the Social category to track this in a more general way rather than by each interaction.

So all my frequent friends and family are listed in this category - I will add someone if they become a more regular presence in my life such as meeting a new person or starting a relationship, but I don’t keep track of acquaintance levels by name. The format of contact is another type of factor I include in this category (videocall, phone, chat/text, visit in person) and then my overall sense of socializing for that day: reached out, supportive, connected, very sociable, quite sociable, little social contact, feeling withdrawn or lonely (even if I interacted with others), conflict, date night, etc. I typically remember who I had conflict with, but if I want details about the subject or topic of supportive connections, I’ll add this in the notes section.

It’s very doable this way to see trends without having a separate rating for individuals/ positive and negative interactions. Logging my data this way has helped me see that I tend to be in a better mood or feel more connected when I visit in person or have videocalls as well as determine which people make the most appearances in my circle of support. Like my sister calls irregularly and mostly those are positive talks, but sometimes they’re tense and I’ll record that. Whereas interactions with my husband are majority positive and make me feel connected or supported. It gives me a chance to also look back and see when friendships are in a lull or fading in frequency.

Hope this helps for those interested in tracking relationships like this!

Having ADHD this would be really helpful to track. I often get overwhelmed with large groups or very chatty, energetic people (like when grocery shopping, etc.) and it will usually result in a lot of emotions expressed towards people close to me. This would be a helpful thing to track the severity of the symptoms/emotions vs. The amount of interactions I have had that day.

This would be cool. After an outing with the dog, I was tailgated relentlessly on the way home. I later had a mental meltdown. The effect came from a stranger, but it’s nice to identify if stress factors come on a regular basis from a person, team, or regular entity. Gets my vote!
