Journaling is a persons personal choice.

years ago journaling was called writing in a diary. then the word diary got changed to the word jounal and now in the computer age the words diary and journal are now being called "blog"

its just for the person who is writing and no one HAS to do it.

I do it because it does help me. For me writing is easier then talking sometines. My head gets to thinking so fast and on so many different topics and angles that its hard to say to someone this is what I am thinking but w hen I pick up a pen and paper and just write what I am thinks and hearing without trying to make sense of it. when I reread what I have wrote I can find the sentences that belong together and make sens of what I need to do to take care of myself.

No one can make anyone do journaling, and no one candecide for someone else if they should write in a journal, diary, blog because it is a persons personal experiences that are being written about.

Which ever way you decide to journal or not is ok with me.

Hang in there
