A mental health journal is a tool you can use to keep track of your emotions, moods and thoughts. Mental Health Journals enable you to label how you felt in a particular moment, to describe the thoughts that were associated with that feeling, and to note what the trigger of the thought and feeling might have been.
A mental health journal can be especially helpful if you are managing conditions like depression, anxiety, or low moods - to better understand yourself and how your environment or lifestyle impacts your emotions. A common practice in cognitive behavioral therapy is labelling emotions and moods in order to understand and process them, and a mental health journal can help you do just that.

A mental health journal can be particularly helpful if you live with conditions such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Cognitive behavioral therapy often encourages labelling emotions and identifying associated thoughts. For example, if you notice a recurring thought like “I’ll fail at this task” linked to low mood, writing it down can help you spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Sharing these insights with a therapist can make sessions more focused and productive.
That’s fine. Journaling is not only for people with diagnosed conditions. Many people use it simply to manage day-to-day stress. Writing about stressful events (for example, a difficult conversation at work) can be a therapeutic release. It often reduces the intensity of the thought, because it is no longer just circling in your head.
You can tag moods and symptoms within your journal entries, which means your reflections sit alongside your health logs. For example, a journal entry describing stress at work can be linked to a “high anxiety” log on the same day. This creates a fuller picture of your mental health that you can review yourself or share with your care team.
Your journal is encrypted and securely stored. Human Health is fully GDPR and HIPAA compliant, which means your entries are protected to medical-grade standards. Your information is never sold, and you decide if or when to share it. You can also delete your data or account at any time.
Writing down your feelings gives you perspective. Instead of being overwhelmed by a thought like “I can’t cope”, you can label it, reflect on it, and decide what to do next. Looking back at past entries often shows progress (maybe you handle situations more calmly now, or your low moods do not last as long). Many users say that journaling helps them see growth they would not have noticed otherwise.
