Does it help you? How often do you do it?

I have included my life's history in it. It helps me vent. Future progeny could see what made Great Grandpa sick. Family that see them selves slipping into the same conditions, can make necessary changes to keep things from making them ill. Any kind of record would be good to have. I had 4 distant relatives kill them selves. I wish they had left a record, and understand their feelings. So, we would know better how to avoid the dangers. I do it about every other day. I do it every day if things are different.

I do, and it definitely helps. Mostly helps with my anxiety, but a little with depression as well.

I do...sometimes. I need to write in it more, but I am pretty anal about my writing (suffer from perfectionism), so most of the time, I am bothered by what I think is messy handwriting. =( I sing a lot more than I write though...music is my anti-drug
