Frustrated

[judy]

I used to keep a journal and write down every single thing that was bothering me. Some were silly and some were huge, but it just felt better getting it out there and allowing myself to acknowledge my own needs. I'm not big on trying to distract myself from feeling funked out. I'm the type who does better if I let myself feel what I feel. It goes away faster.

I doubt if that works for everyone, but it's just a thought.

Very good idea Judy. I may try that. I hope you continue to feel betty Dustiey.

I agree Judy. I do the same thing. I have an online journal or two, but I just don't know what I'd do without my private paper journal. It's been so helpful to be able to be completely open and honest and not worry about who might read it. It's a great way to just get your emotions out and maybe even learn to understand them a little better.

Maybe that would be helpful for you too, Dustiey.
