I've read that if you already have a depressive personality (guilty as charged!) then journaling can actually steer you to ruminate, and potentially away from healing. I'm doing it anyway, there's a part of me that wants to remember what I went through. Wrote this short poem this week.

I come into your room, now empty

Like the room might hold an answer

But the room lies silent

Only the boards creak beneath my feet.

I've had this kind of stuff suggested to me and half-tried to do it, always said journaling doesn't work for me. I'm trying to do it and stick with it now through this process, seeing how it's helped so many people on this sub

I actually have been doing the same thing

In addition to journaling

I send myself screenshots and notes that I want to remember

My therapist encouraged me to begin journaling as a way of chronicling my history and transformation during this period. I have already documented the initial shock and anger and gradual move toward acceptance that I have felt. I am also bulleting out three things I learn each day, like “Exercise is good medicine” or “Say yes to every invitation.” I think it’s helpful.

I tend to do video journaling daily. I will record myself on camera for about 5 minutes each day to talk about my day, what I dealt with, my happiness and frustrations... anything that I can recall that made my day what it was.

That way... I'm able to see what I looked like back then to give a visual story aside from just the words. It helped me more because I could always see where I was mentally during those times. Any lies I was telling myself, or any moments that were really raw.

I think what you're doing is cool and it will serve as a purpose for moments you may not realize now. But... it will come in handy at the right time.

I pray this helps!
