@Blueberrybook, I have a few different methods of journaling. Personally, I don't really do the type of prompts you see when you look them up online, but I practice some DBT stuff which is a lot easier with a pen and paper when I am focused on that one thing and can physically see it written down. Stuff like chain-analyses, looking at things from wise mind instead of emotion mind, the pros and cons chart information just not in a chart (especially when I feel myself heading towards a relapse). That's really all I've learned so far (well, some distress tolerance and mindfulness stuff, but that's not really material for journaling). If you want me to explain any of this in more depth, I'd be happy to!

Sometimes I'm just pissed or scared or despondent or craving and rant about that though. Can make things worse if you dig further down that hole though (I've had to stop writing about the craving bits because if my timing isn't perfect I'd just end up glamorizing getting wasted).

I also have a separate notebook for my "ingenious ideas" that are sometimes even realistic
