Thanks everyone for the comments! I've been doing this for the last few days and I believe it's working. I started making lists for next sessions a couple of months ago, and that's all well and good, but I'm discovering that writing letters specifically to her seems to quiet my mind quite a bit. It's not the same journaling (to me).
While all of what I writing in the letters seems important to talk about w/my therapist, I'm starting to see that it's more important to just get it all out. Maybe I'll be brave and choose a letter to share with her at session.

A journal for myself to be able to write non stop of my daily life, a calendar where I jot things down to remember to log into right place, and I made a Daily mood chart/notes to keep the same info daily so it shows triggers, sleep, and stuff. I got obessive with this since last year and have way too many. Now I can start on this one. Thanks
