I use mood scope. It asks to rate 20 emotions/feelings on a scale of no/slightly to always and then gives you a score from 1-100.
I like it as it doesn't rely on me to know whether I am feeling low or high or whatever and I can spot which signs I'm getting of mood issues like high levels of guilt with low mood or irritability with low.
It gives you a bit a pep talk with your score which I quite like.
The downsides I have come across is that the pep talks seem only tailored for low moods so when my mood is high and I'm scoring highly the blurb is positive "yay your mood is good!" sorts of things but I have learnt what scores for me signal an elevated mood rather than a good mood.
It also wasn't that helpful when my mood had mixed features.
I tried a few sites before I found this one, it is a bit of trial and error before you find one that works for you. If I was looking for another site I would want one that gave me a numerical value at the end (I have turned the numbers I have from mood scope into weekly and monthly averages and the trends in my mood are much more obvious from these than they are from the daily score). A lot of the sites I tried before just recorded the mood I thought I was in which was fine when I was in an episode because it was obvious but I was totally missing early warning signs doing this. So for me I think it is important that my mood is rated based on my answers rather than my insight.
Some sites let you have trigger points that send out an email to a buddy list if you score certain levels of depression or high mood. It is not something I have used or looked into but this feature might be something else you want to look at when finding a mood recording site.
