For me it depends. I thought it helped a lot when I started back in college. But then it felt like it was less and less helpful, until I hardly wrote anymore. Now I feel like the whole document is nothing but complaints and whining which kind of gets me down. Maybe I should have focused more on the positive stuff going on, but between depression and anxiety I'm not really surprised that it ended up the way it did.

Some days I just want to delete all traces of it because it contains a LOT of stuff that I'd never tell a soul and has the potential to destroy me. But then other days I really feel like going back to it, so I'll write a new entry -- especially about stuff that I simply cannot share with anyone, anywhere.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
