i get in modes where i journal a lot and then i stop. i have found it to be helpful to me to get thoughts out- get other peoples opinions about what is going on in my head- i keep it on friends only- because i really have revealed a lot about myself in my journals- to me, it helps me when i am dealing with an issue to face it head on like that.

When I was going through my hepc treatment, I would journal each week. It was a good way for me to track my side effects and my thoughts. Good thing I did, because I barely remember those six months.

Now that I'm going through divorce, I'll journal my thoughts and feelings, to get feedback. ( Sometimes I get manic and I just pour out all my feelings, then I'll read it the next day and be embarrassed...lol)

It does help my pain. It is comforting to know that someone cares enough to read and give me their advice or support. It also gives me strength.

1) how many of you journal regularly on their own?
I absolutely love journaling/blogging!!!

2) do you think it really helps ease some of the pain and what is your opinion as to how and why.
I find it VERY helpful to journal/blog, especially right before going to bed. It's best to go to bed with a clear mind! You end up sleeping better and you don't have alot of stress weighing you down at night :)

it has helped me in a lot of ways, i cry myself out on my journals i used to journal more often whn i got out of my break up and it helped me a lot and i strongly moved on...

Thank you all for your responses (again)! I am going to try and start journaling and I am glad to see how much it has helped all of you.
((HUGS to you all))!!!!!

My Journal dont work. Cant put any thing on it.
