MY STORYAs a sufferer of anxiety, I felt I needed a book to write down my thoughts and feelings so I can keep track of where I am and also to help clear my mind of my worries by writing them down. After speaking to people around me, including some of our customers, it surprised me how lots of people are suffering the same way I do. Even the people who seem ‘all together’. So my mission was set and after gaining this valuable input, the ‘My Thoughtful Diary’ was born.Anna xx★ Easily rate your general daily moods★ Capture your daily: plans, something positive and time for yourself★ Weekly reflection section and plans for the following week ★ 1 week-per-view, Monday to Sunday, with a space to add a week start date or a week number★ 21 notes pages at the back★ Un-dated so the diary can be easily used any time of the yearSPECIFICATION★ Months: 12★ Size: A5 (148mm x 210mm / 5.8" x 8.3")★ Pages: 138 (69 sheets)★ Paper: High quality 100gsm / 28lb★ Daily box dimensions: 60mm x 85mm / 2.3" x 3.3"★ Front cover: Thick glossy card and an extra thick protective plastic cover★ Back cover: Extra thick white card★ Binding: White wire bind★ Handmade in sunny Wales★ First published: Mar 2017★ Tweaked & updated: Sep 2020DISCLAIMER: My Thoughtful Diary is provided as a general resource tool only and should not be treated as a substitute for professional medical advice or therapy.

The most perfect mental health journal
Absolutely love this diary. I was searching for days for the perfect mental health journal and nothing seemed to fit. They were always full of "inspirational quotes" and activities like "write ten things you're grateful for". I just wanted something simple to track my mental health after I had a breakdown. And this is definitely it! It has a week over two pages for the whole year to easily track how you were that day. Then it has a sleep log at the back, a yearly view of your mental health, a place to write your medications, things that make you angry, triggers, things that make you calm and then a few pages for doodles. I am going to be keeping it by my pillow to fill in. Absolutely adore it and will most definitely be buying from this seller again!

Beautiful self-care companion
I’ve used a number of planners in the past including some more expensive and more heavily detailed ones, but they never really felt quite right me for me or I felt overwhelmed filling them in. Then I came across this and think I may have found the perfect one.This is such a lovely self-care diary, lovingly presented as if gift wrapped and with a thank you from the people who made it.It’s a lovely simple, bright and happy layout which will be encouraging to write in every day.Includes mood tracker (circle how you feel on a day)a sleep tracker at the back, a slot every day to write something positive, and space to write to dos and your feelings.Also comes with a vibrant, happy bookmark.I was happy to find out the company does an array of diaries like this including a cleaning schedule one (which I will probably also invest in later on).

A Thoughtful Idea
I bought this as a present for someone suffering from depression and anxiety who had mentioned seeing it here. Although expensive for what it is, it is beautifully made and encourages sufferers to keep a close eye on their daily structure, feelings, sleeping patterns etc. It is useful for spotting patterns in periods of low mood and anxiety so would be handy to show a therapist or doctor as you have a clear record of your symptoms. It's so pretty I think it would be a pleasure to write in each day and I particularly like the '4u' bit to remind you to take time to do something kind for yourself each day however little. My first diary got lost in the post, however, a replacement was made and sent out by recorded delivery a few days later. Although there are cheaper alternatives out there I I would still recommend this.

OMG AMAZING!
I bought this diary for myself as i’ve suffered with anxiety for 3 years & in March of this year I got diagnosed with depression. I wanted something I could write down how I felt and also the positives and negatives of my day. Also the scribble pages are great for me as I find it difficult to speak to people. The sleep monitor page is helpful as I struggle to sleep most nights so now I can track this to show my GP. This diary is perfect! I love how colourful it is & the lovely packaging it came in. This has made my day when it arrived in the post & also it arrived way earlier than I expected! I love the personalised note inside, I can see how much love and effort you put in to make people happy and look forward to writing in it. I highly recommend this to anyone who has mental health issues. I don’t have any social media accounts so I am not able to post but I will be sure to tell all my friends & family about this! I will be purchasing this again in a years time!

Beautifully made, amazing company
I’m absolutely in love with my diary! The quality is superb - it’s colourful, bright, easy to use, thick paper, and a beautiful glossy cover which I got in the sunflower design. I’m not a naturally creative person, so I love that I can journal in here with all of the colours and designs already made. It’s not over complicated, but has everything you need to do a summary of each day, as well as track your mood and sleeping habits. I couldn’t be more pleased, and the company behind the diary is also fantastic. It feels great to support such a lovely business who genuinely care about their customers. Thank you aabe for helping me to get through an incredibly difficult time in my life at the moment, adding some colour when my thoughts can be so dark, I’m truly grateful for this well put together product.

Cute and exactly what I wanted
This journal is amazing. It is exactly what I was looking for it allows me to write my feelings each day, chart my mood and my sleep. I don't personally use the sections with the bubbles and clouds but that is a personal choice. I also adore the bookmark that I use for my reading books.

An absolutely perfect book
Over the last 12 months a lot has changed in my life and very recently after I lost my sister to cancer, I have found it very difficult to cope with what’s happened and why. I have only been using this book for a week but it has helped me so much. Setting myself a daily goal of what I want to achieve and writing down my feelings & what has been positive in my day makes things a bit easier to cope with. Sometimes writing my feelings down is easier than trying to talk to someone and I know they are better out than in.Thank you very much, I’m so glad I brought this

Really fantastic for keeping track of your moods and thoughts
Really great mood diary! Has a little daily section for notes and tasks, a sleep diary, and a mood chart at the back - which I filled in with highlighters.I even showed this to my counsellor, who was so impressed, she’ll be telling other people to get one :)Great for when you’re feeling like you did nothing, or your mood is never good, because you can look back and prove yourself wrong!
