I started a journal when I got home from my first intake session a few weeks ago. I mainly did it to prove to myself I was wrong to seek help, that things are okay. I write down each time I have an anxiety attack, or feel really bad. It has been very revealing. I have not made it through a day yet without writing one or more things down. This has convinced me I need to write everything down and take it with me when I meet my T, because I have a tendency to downplay my problems, even denying to myself. The journal might prove to be my best tool for self awareness yet. I highly suggest it to anyone who may have doubts.
