ELISE1988 - how has the journalling been going thus far?

One more comment I have is to ensure you also fill your diary with positives. Just writing about the negative tends to cause us to ruminate on the difficulties and runs the risk of actually bringing your mood down further. My bad journalling habits were a factor in my being hospitalized last year. Today I make sure I have happier stuff in my diary: doodles or even artwork and pictures in the pages.
