I'm not good at remembering to journal. As an autist, it doesn't necessarily come naturally to me to express me thoughts "out loud" or on paper. I do write a lot of stream-of-consciousness stuff when manic. This helps keep me from bombarding other humans with my stream of ideas I also blog, but only when I'm coherent; I have it set up so that my best friend has to review my posts before I post them! I often think I should journal, and I'll keep at it for maybe a month, and then start forgetting.
