Journaling is so helpful and not so helpful at times
I find writing my thoughts out, especially when I need to communicate something, writing is so much easier than verbalizing it. But it can not help. It doesn’t help for me, because I just keep on ruminating on my negative thoughts// not the greatest times… and that’s why sometimes, I’m my opinion it doesn’t help.But overall I do think journaling is beneficial. Doesn’t matter if your writing about your current feelings or what you did today, or even a better time In life.
@leannescarlett I am with you. I used to journal up till the middle of this month. It seems like journaling didn't help me a lot even though I was able to figure out some of my feelings. Writing has made me more depressed because it brings back bad memories. When I am hurt by someone it helps me to write down my thoughts and feelings and how I would like to handle the situation. Sometimes I write how that person make me feel and give it to them. And tell them we need to talk about what happened. Sometimes the other person is willing to talk about it and sometimes they just let it go.
