I normally write characters going through something I have gone through presently or in the past. With this as my passion, hobby, and therapy, I'm planning to major in Creative Writing! This way I can be happy and enjoy my job without stress or depression.

What is your therapy hobby? Do you like writing as well? Let me know.

I love writinng as well :3 I think it's a great way to express how you feel. I've been writing since I was around 10 years old and even though I don't write as much as I did, I still love doing it. Also, your name "Newt" is adorable x3 reminds me of Aliens

I enjoy creative writing as well, sadly I rarely have enough time to sit and write a load. On the other hand I took quite a liking to poetry, I found that whenever I was stressed, anxious, angry or anything I would have a massive inflow of ideas, and I began to use poetry as a method of mental ventilation. Its incredibly stress-relieving, moreso than I expected. I love any writing with hidden meaning like poetry and even some more backgrounded books too.

I agree, but I try to fit in some writing every day.

@skittlesthelistener Painting is my therapy hobby. Nothing can be more relieving than flat painting! And speak of writing, it does really help me a lot when I'm depressed. i love to journalise my thoughts by writing with a fountain pen :)

What is your therapy hobby? Writing, baking, cooking, playing with cats, videogames

Do you like writing as well? I have been writing over 20 years. I have a few books I want to edit again for 80th time, before I publish.

I am currently working on a therapy project that I hope helps me get over my ptsd, anxiety, and depression or at least let's me cope with it.

@skittlesthelistener I love writing too! I started writing back in 2014 when I joined my school's journalism club and from then it bloomed! As for my case, when I feel like really upset I make scenarios in my head that I soon apply to writing. It may be fictional or realistic but writing and reading at the same time takes my mind off things that are unpleasant and negative. What's your favorite book?

I write down my favorite quotes to how I am feeling. I write about how I am feeling. Or I write about a character in my book. It started with an imaginary friend that became a character in my book.

I am not much of a writer, but once in a while I use writing as means to express myself to me. I mean I just feel relieved and more aware about who I really am after I write. I prefer reading more though.
