I always wanted to journal and had the best intentions. Nothing happened until I was in the hospital. They told me to journal. The reason was to keep track of my episodes. My memory is fried, and I couldn't answer questions about frequency, severity, or duration. Journaling is great for this so I started writing everyday. As I got better I had less and less to say. Then I decided to only report my episodes. When I had no episodes, I quit writing altogether. I start things all gung ho then eventually lose interest. I wish I still journaled, maybe I start again. Wish me luck.
