When you first sign-in to Bearable, you’ll be asked to pick the factors that you feel are most effecting your BPD symptoms and moods. Then, over the course of the following week – and along with your symptom severity – you’ll track the days when these factors occur.
Once you’ve collected approximately 7 days of symptoms and factor data, we’ll show you correlations between your factors and changes in symptom severity.
Then, once you’ve collected more data – we recommend at least 30 days – you’ll be able to determine which factors might be negatively impacting your BPD symptoms. At this point, most Bearable users then use this data to:
- Speak with a Doctor about any new triggers they’ve identified.
- Begin making lifestyle changes to avoid newly identified triggers.
It’s also possible to create more granular, custom factors and these can help you to get a more detailed understanding of your triggers. For example, rather than tracking ‘Socialised’ you might begin to track ‘Chad’, ‘Karen’, and ‘Mom’.
Ultimately, Bearable gives you the tools to collect data about your triggers, so that you can better understand and manage your symptoms over time.
