So I wrote a lyric poem about my life today, and now I can't shake the bad place it's put me in. My mood has been good until today when it nosedived. I've obviously unearthed some emotional issues Any feedback would be appreciated.

i wrote a journal entry few days back that had me in tears, shaken...i think i do understand. It wasn't about my whole life, but a long rs i had. I guess it's when we put things to paper or say that out loud it makes it ... real and official and validated. for me anyway, tucked away hurt that i thought was healed or pushed aside, but what i thought were marks from healing, like a scar, were just evidence of what i didnt want to face or allow myself to feel.

I've done that to myself before too, it's part of why i stopped writting.
But i think a good thing to do is possibly meditate with very calming music in the background. It sort of helps me sometimes. Best of luck

Thank you all. I kinda fell asleep right after I wrote this. I do feel better this morning.
