For me, sinking, it is just the writing that helps me to express myself. I don't have others read it. I don't need to talk about it. I usually throw it away when done. There is just something therapeutic about the words and feelings that come out (mostly temporary emotions) that relieves me from those feelings. Yet sometimes, a good sentence or two will emerge that I will want to share with a close person to help explain what I'm feeling.

Just get your hand moving across the page, may begin like jibberish, but somehow, the right words will start coming out without thinking.

Your name, dear sinking, makes me think of a song who's lyrics help me sometimes. Here is the youtube link: Swim by Jack's Mannequin w/ Lyrics
