i’m not consistent and really only journal when i need it or have something i really need to say and have no one to say it to. mine is super stream of consciousness and writing my thoughts down as they occur to me helps me process my emotions and thoughts. i use it a lot when i’m feeling crazy and know i’m being irrational, and it helps a lot with getting the things making me feel that way to stop bothering me.

Been having lots of big emotions lately because of my personal life and my job. Between therapy sessions it’s hard to manage them so I’ve been journaling when I feel overwhelmed and it has been super helpful.

when people used to say “you should journal!” i would be like yeah, yeah whatever. it’s funny looking back on it, because now whenever i get a single thought in my head, i have to write it down. it can be difficult for me to identify my emotions, but seeing bits of my thoughts, written and scattered about, allows me to solve the puzzle piece that is my complex (& crazy) mind. 🪐

If not every day then just when you can, half the time I’m lying and a day behind playing catch-up. Anything I don’t want to tell a real person, dishing all gossip but also a general recap of my day etc. Great if you don’t trust your long term memory, because I sure don’t! I started months ago but got serious about it before new year’s. I’ve been consistent and it’s as close as I can get to free therapy, other than venting into the void!
(the void doesn’t remember for you though) :/
