Mood/Energy-level/Anxiety tracker

[Bipolar]

I have to manage and track my moods as part of managing my bipolar and it would be really beneficial to be able to do this using the Fitbit app. I can then see how sleep quality and quantity effect my mood level the next day. If I could monitor my mood and energy levels here it would allow me to see early warning signs and which aspects of my health improve my symptoms.

This would not only be helpful for those with bipolar but anyone who is experiencing depression, low mood or anxiety. Other trackers on the market either don't have the capabilities that Fitbit does or they are very complicated to complete. Fitbit mood identifier and motivating option and motivational messages.  

Thank you for your consideration

This will be very useful. Lots of people are struggling with mental health issues who can benefit from such features.

As someone who suffers with mental illness, I would like to see mental health be integrated into the fitbit family. Similarly to calorie input tracking, I’d like to see somewhere to input moods.

Hi @Kmculhan! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

They put a mood tracker in with the feminine health tracker. I just saw it
this morning.

helps you!

Exactly. I’m shocked that they haven’t done this by now because mental health is as equally important as physical health

It would be cool if there was some sort of emotional/mental health log in the app or on the watch. Something quick and easy around bedtime, like "How would you rate your mood today on a scale of 1-10?". 

That way you could look for mood trends over time, especially as it relates to sleep, exercise, and diet.

Right now, I am using the water tracking as a rudimentary way of measuring this, but would love to see a legit feature.

hi, my suggestion is to use :

1. please make out some way to track the depression level at initial level.

Hi all, 

For running, walking, or working out.  Often times many people need that extra motivation to get started.  This is where Fitbit can help.  If Fitbit had a mood sensor, and or push button mood identifier, what would occur is that the Fitbit would eventually understand what time is a good time for you to go for a run, walk, etc. If either a beeper or voice activated system on the Fitbit was available, then the Fitbit would be able to say something like "It's a good time to workout", or perhaps set off a favorite ring tone / song that would be motivational.  

The push button mood identifier could even be a single button.  Press one for happy, two for neutral, three for not feeling to good (probably something better than this).  Throughout the day, week, month, the system would be able to use trend and pattern analysis and combined with general working out times this could be valuable and lead the the idea I thought of - a Fitbit mood identifier and motivating option.  

Respectfully, 

InventorMJ

I would also love to see this addition. Of course mental health is extremely important, and right now I log in a third party app but don't have a good way of correlating the data to other details like sleep/active minutes/etc. Would be great to have this feature - perhaps an amped-up version of the period logging but with a greater variation and tags.

I think it would be nice to have a space where you could log your mood and a short note. For reference and reflection on your diet as well.

[SunsetRunner]

I have wished many times for the ability to write a note, especially in regards to a workout I have just finished. Excellent suggestion in my opinion.

[zaacckb]

Mood tracking is something that should be added to Fitbit. It would be fantastic to write a short note about a day and be able to see the correlation between activity and mood.

Thumbs up for Silver-Pie's suggestion regarding a workout note.

Great suggestions.

[MrsToady]

I'd like to see some sort of mood tracking as a tile on the app dashboard, instead of as part of the 'female health' section

[Emilyk0613]

I would love a Fitbit App that is a mood tracker that ties into the current mindfulness feature on the Fitbit Mobile App. Ideally it would work similar to water reminders etc- pop up several times a day to check in on your mood and log this in a calendar on your App.

[LizzyFitbit]

Hi @Emilyk0613, thanks for sharing this suggestion about having a Mood Tracker available in the Fitbit app with us. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to keep the forums organized and make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote. Click on the thumbs-up to show your support.

@LizzyFitbit Has this been implemented yet? I'm new to fitbit, and the only mood-related tracking my device has introduced me to is "stress management", which offers to log "stress level" on a scale from Very Calm to Very Stressed. This is quite one-dimensional in my book, and I would want to see a tracking of the entire palette of human emotion (i.e. many dimensions on seperate scales. e.g happiness vs. sadness, fear vs. trust, anger vs sympathy, etc.)

[Islandem]

I would love the addition of moods or tags # to track triggers against changes of heart rate and sleep disturbances etc. tags could let you add things like medications.

This integrated would make things more manageable for me and more accurate & comprehensive data for my specialists.

Having data actually able to be downloaded & printed or forwarded for use in say a zoom session with my providers would be ideal. Other apps look nice on your on phone but don’t send well and/or make long term trend tracking difficult (over say months and maybe a medication change).

[BillieTries]

Same suggestion, but for focus/brain fog (about 3-8% of the population has ADHD!, plus most perimenopausal women experience brain fog) and for both mental health symptoms and physical health symptoms, both related to chronic illness like asthma, chronic fatigue, EDS, artritis, long COVID etc *and* to brief illnesses like a severe cold, the flu or (acute) COVID. 

It seems to me that the app might get a bit cluttered, so it might be most useful to add a more general "how are you feeling?" feature to the app, and then have a number of choices, like physical versus mental health, pain, soreness etc versus fatigue, or to be able to pre-select a user's most common symptoms that they would like to track in order to keep the app streamlined. 

To make the most of the tracked information, it would be helpful if

1) a poor score/a flare-up of symptoms would impact the Daily Readiness Score, and

2) if the tracked symptoms  could  be added to the Wellness Report in order to be able to cross-reference symptoms with sleep, active minutes, etc in order to better inform our specialists and general care doctors.
