There will be good days and bad days. When tracking any part of your journey, look for long-term trends. Plateaus or short downward trends do not imply that your current therapy plan is not working. But what can help is keeping track of the intensity of your symptoms, as well as filling out a journal or form on a regular basis can provide insight into your long-term progress and growth.
