I couldn't write about all the awful things, that happened to me

But I might try one day on notes to myself and see if numbs the pain, memory bored with even if do write about it (probably do need therapist though)

At least I got method now

thanks x

I can honestly say that journaling or writing about my pain helps me collect and organize my thoughts.....it's not a matter of sharing them with someone....helps me get organized

I mostly plan and organise my life but never thought about past injuries, mistakes or trauma and mind!

I find writing helps a lot, but when I'm able to stay away from correcting my grammar or making sure it's in proper paragraphs etc. lol I do best when I just write or even doodle and my mind takes over. It's what works for me, but it's hard to lose control of my thinking, no emotions. Maybe it will work for others, I don't know. Music while I'm writing also helps. Sometimes it frees me up to feel. Maybe I should do that now. Practice what I preach. ha ha

Sometimes that is what we need....to feel....not necessarily to share with anyone.....but to feel....I'm not good at expressing my emotions....so it definitely helps me collect my thoughts.....music is the same way
