From age 13 to about 20 I journaled constantly. I filled notebook after notebook with writing. I also wrote stories. I stopped a few months after I met my husband. I was stable and it just didn't feel necessary anymore. I wrote here and there when I was feeling upset but I didn't write a lot. Then when I started getting bad again I started writing again. I write a lot here. I also write on paper. Now I feel like I have to write or I'll explode. I'm going to purchase a nice journal so I can write to my husband. It makes me feel more connected to him, plus lets me yell at him a bit. I have some anger surrounding his death. Writing will be very important to me right now. It saved me in the past and it will save me now.
