And you make me laugh. Worried about not being G-rated? If I REALLY wrote about what I thought about, at LEAST half of it would be X-rated.  I'm not sure I'd like the idea of having a therapist read them though. Unless she were a sex therapist maybe. 
All of that said, I did do some stream of conscious journaling on my own when I was working through The Artist's Way, but I just find it really hard to stick to. Might as well try it though. |
LOL , I have written my thoughts out from a long time ago , not on a daily basis though. X- rated , mine I would say a sad R-rating , about the Vietnam crap / race wars , friends dying way before there time. It just sux sometimes.
I can write it for myself and I don`t think she will ever read my daily journal , but she said the same as the 2 previous posters wrote , that it will help clarify whats go`n down in your head , and maybe make some sense of it all.
My writings are dark , sad forboading , and far to often for real.
Maybe thats the stuff I have to dig out of my head so I can go on to live , I don`t know.
All I know is sometimes I can`t stop thinking , and other times I wish I had amnesia , crazy I know
I guess thats why I am finally getting help , something I wish I had done a long time ago , despite the journaling !! LOL
