I have not tried journaling even though many have suggested I do it. I don't mind writing I just can't seem to be able to get in focus enough to get my jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions down on paper. As far as if it helps, I think it depends on the person, I'm sure it helps for some, but I am sure there are others who find no help in doing it.

Hello. I hope all are well. Another snowstorm on my doorstep. Ugh!! That's my depressed reaction. I have journalled. Some better than others. I like to write, having written & published a book. English was good subject for me in school. Kinda natural at it. Penning feelings isn't that easy for me. I can write about many topics but emotions, not so much. Facts & figures are easier for me to explain. Yet, everyone is different. Perhaps feelings flow more easily to others. Best wishes.
