I've made the mistake of replying to emails and texts when I was emotionally overwhelmed and my mind was not very clear. Journaling helps me to process my thoughts and come up with a better response. Pens and notepads are essential parts of my wellness routine
You're so welcome @ennie. I couldn't have said that any better myself. As you have said, even our support groups we may have formulated over time can give out when they impose expectations on our character, or misinterpret our intentions. I think all of us are guilty of squeezing too much onto our plate at some point or another, even when we are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired (that HALT acronym). Thankfully the paper is a fresh start and lacks the capacity to abandon/judge you (at least until you have to get a new journal )!
