I still post on here too when I am in distress, but I had added journalling to that

I can be more rambling in there.

When I feel anxious now, I gravitate toward my journal. I never thought it would be something I would do, but it is helping me so much.

It makes it feel more real and I can analyze it when I write it down, instead of constantly dismissing my feelings

It’s great that journaling is helping. Writing things down can really make your feelings feel more real and valid. You’re giving yourself space to feel instead of pushing things aside—and that’s an important kind of self-care. Keep letting it flow, even if it’s rambling. That’s where the insight often starts.
