The mental health journal prompts are split to cover different areas of importance for those who still struggle with understanding their moods, emotions, and regulation of the two. Keeping a journal is one of the best ways to learn more about yourself, especially while you're reflecting on previous entries! 
 
This 60-day journal guide is perfect for those who are looking for a "mental health reset" and need prompts that are specific to helping your mental illness. Reflecting on the answers to your prompts are also essential to improving the symptoms of your Bipolar Disorder and managing your mental health. 
 
Signs and Symptoms of Manic/Hypomanic* Episodes:
Increased energy levels (for no apparent reason)
Racing thoughts
Impulsive or risky behavior (in or out of character)
Feeling invincible or "on top of the world"
Acting jumpy, high, or wired
Feelings of euphoria, intense pleasure, or productivity
Irritable, "on edge", or easily agitated
Having trouble sleeping
Fast-talking, switching from subject to subject
Heightened senses such as sensitivity to sound or touch
 
*Hypomania, in short, is the less severe form of mania. Someone with Bipolar II Disorder experiencing a hypomanic episode may just feel more energized, in a good mood, or more productive during that episode. Hypomania is considered less severe than mania because hypomania doesn't get out of control. Hypomania is still troublesome, however, because it either evolves into mania or unpredictably swings from high energy and feeling on top of the world into a depressive episode. 
 
Signs and Symptoms of Depressive Episodes:
Persistently feeling down, slow, empty, or numb
Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
Problems with sleep (oversleeping, insomnia, restless sleep, etc.)
Feeling hopeless or helpless
A decrease in self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love, etc.
Retreating from friends and social activities
Crying spells
Low energy, or loss of energy
Changes in appetite (over-eating, under-eating, etc.)
Loss of motivation/drive to complete the activities you want and/or need to do
Low productivity
Feeling careless towards responsibilities
Feeling emotionally numb, mentally foggy, or having problems concentrating
Learned helplessness
Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or suicide attempts
