I had to laugh at myself when I read your statement that you cant find the time to sit and write ....I recently made this comment to my therapist and wife... they smiled and said...."what do you think you are doing every time you get on a computer and visit the support groups like psych central and others? ...you are sitting and writing, answering posts, making threads and posts about your daily life and problems....hellllooo thats what writing a journal is remember?"

their point was..if I have the time and make the time to come here to psych central to read and write posts, threads replies then I definitely do have the time to sit down and write a couple lines on a piece of paper or on my computer journal as to how my day went, or any problems I had that day...

thats when the "I cant" and "I dont have the time" turned into ....i just didnt feel like doing it and maybe I was a bit afraid of what I may discover about myself..

for me the I cant and the I dont have the time is just an excuse...if I can make time to come on psych central to post about myself, and to help others then I do have the time to write in my journal. so now every night before I even come on here and every morning before I come on here I write a couple lines in my daily diary. sometimes its just a line saying I feel good today or its an intention like today I will get this done..

I find now that I have gotten back into writing my journal I feel much better about myself and my problems.

maybe you can give writing only a line or two right before you come on here a try.
