I don't journal because I find it tedious. I've tried videotaping and recording, but I always end up judging my looks or voice. My latest attempt was the therapist, but I haven't been back for months. I really didn't fit in with her well. I guess she didn't quite know what to do with me either because all I really wanted was someone to talk to and offer me advice and perhaps help me with some of my bigger issues eventually (depression, problems paying attention, biting, bottling up emotions). I guess I felt like she didn't even want to have a "get to know each other" period. She made me write down therapy goals, but I really just wasn't ready for that yet. I just didn't trust her enough to want to stay.

In conclusion, my way of coping is ignoring the issue at hand.
