Hi ksvt. I wasn't the spread-sheet person, I think that was Racer. I have the same problem that you mentioned both in therapy and with my pdoc. I can only relate to how I am on any particular day--forget if I felt suicidal two days before. But I don't have the patience to fill out daily forms.
With my pdoc, I always take notes with me. How I've been feeling, and specific questions about drugs. This week all my questions will have to do with lamictal and breast pain and weight gain. I've already sent her a fax with my issues. It seems to save time to have her know, the questions I want to ask her, both to allow time and in case she wants to look something up before I go. Also, it keeps me on track. I've gotten so efficient with faxes, that when I ask the secretary to leave my podoc a message, she asks me please to send a fax (I mean why should she bother to write anything down, when I do it all).
Actually, in regards to my pdoc in general, I am a frequent faxer. She, on the other hand, returns my faxes with phone calls. Shellie
