I have had that problem too. Before joining DS I HATED journaling, bu was so very surprised when I it become so VERY therapeutic! (I feel odd saying that, especially since I am a therapist & it is OFTEN recommended for its therapeutic value. I had never really tried it before & I guess was too stubborn too believed it, lol. Maybe it is the fact that there maybe someone who reads it or maybe that it helps me to know it is not just my mindless rambling but that if even one person can validate it, understand it, or if even one person finds it helpful then I feel purposeful & more open to letting it all just 'flow.')
Anyway, I find I go through phases. Sometimes I journal about every 7 -10 days & others more often. But, I have also noticed that there are times I WANT to journal & can't. It is frustrating since I have found it so helpful! However, I have noticed recently that I talk to my DS sister's in my head all the time, but the actual "journaling"... well I sometimes sit ready to write & I think the problem is being WAY TOO overwhelmed to actually 'write.' BUT, as it is right, I try sometimes I just type & then decide I don't want to post,,, & lately I am finding it is come easier.
Hang in there sweetie!
Hugs & Blessings,

It works when I try to add one. I didn't try it during the time frame you mentioned though but it worked when I added one today.
