If you are looking for a simple and colorful way to track your mental health, Keira Bailey has a suggestion. On January 8, the 16-year-old began tracking her days using a handmade chart that categorizes the daily state of her mental health by color.
Her brother saw Bailey’s tracker and shared it on Twitter, where it took off with more than 7,ooo retweets and 14,000 favorites.
The tracker, based off of a Pinterest “Year in Pixels” template, features eight different categories: “amazing, fantastic day,” “really good happy day,” “normal, average day,” “exhausted, tired day,” “depressed, sad day,” “frustrated, angry day,” “stressed, frantic day” and “sick day.”
“Using the tracker really helps my mental health, it makes me feel like every day I’m a new person,” Bailey told BuzzFeed. “This tracker has a huge impact on my everyday life – it’s a great way to keep track on how I am feeling during the week.”
