What am I feeling right now?
Two questions, one word. This isn’t a quiz or a test: nothing is scored, and nothing you choose leaves this page.

One question, if you want it

Keep check-ins like this one.
Mental saves each check-in with a note or tags. Once you have five check-ins in a month, made at more than one time of day, its mood clock shows when you felt better and worse.
Get Mental for iPhone See all 49 feelings on the emotion gridWhy two questions
Energy and pleasantness are two things you can usually notice before you have a word for them. How charged or tired are you? Does it feel good, bad or neither? Researchers often map feelings on these two dimensions, following James A. Russell’s 1980 paper “A Circumplex Model of Affect”.
The check-in uses the same grid as the Mental app: seven steps of energy, seven of pleasantness and 49 phrases in everyday language. The first answer picks a row, the second picks a column, and the feeling is where they meet.
What the result is, and isn’t
It is a word for this moment. It is not a score, a test or a diagnosis, and it says nothing about why you feel this way. Feelings change through the day, and two neighbouring cells can fit equally well. If one doesn’t fit, move to the next, or keep both: two feelings can be true at once.
Is my answer saved?
No. Your answers and your line of text stay in this page’s memory. They aren’t sent anywhere, and refreshing clears them. The site counts only that the check-in was used, never what you chose. The privacy policy has the details.
More words, more room
The emotion grid shows all 49 feelings at once and has a printable version. The feelings list compares nearby words with everyday examples. If you want to start keeping these, the mood tracking guide shows a simple daily method.
