I love to write my diaries and notebook entries. I use a pen and paper, somehow I just like to see my handwriting. I just finished another paper notebook. Do you keep journals or diaries?
Yup occasionally it helps a lot to be honest. Helps me organize my thoughts
Yes tons and tons. I have boxes full of diaries. I actually never wrote about my symptoms, only normal life stuff, until one of my voices suggested I do so. It helped me a lot.
It does not help me to go back and read my old writings though. Can set me off very badly. So I just keep them in my closet.
Good for you! I used to keep a diary everyday. I haven’t for a long time but I want to get back into it.
i dont have a journal. i do write personal stuff every day in a book, though its not much about logging events and stuff. its just a fun book to write stories in.
I have not been able to sleep well tonight and so I started another paper diary/notebook and I have already written five pages more. I think it is good for one’s mind to write down things, thoughts, experiences, symptoms or anything comes to one’s mind.
Now I am having coffee and I do not expect to sleep tonight, but then I can write my notebook entries.
Yes. I keep a prayer journal. I’ve been keeping it for the last fourteen years. Gd talks to me in it and I talk back to Him in it. I pray in it every single morning. It’s called Lectio Divina.
I suppose that is Latin meaning Divine Lessons or something?
It means Divine Reading, I think. Either that or Divine Lecture.
I checked with Google Translator … it is Divine Reading.
Thank you, @mjseu.
I used to do a lot of writing about my theories. I think about them less now after meds. I an thinking that’s a bad thing.
@Sardonic, What’s a bad thing? Your theories? Or thinking about them less?
Thinking about my theories less @SkinnyMe
Have you considered that your theories may be delusions since you think about them less after taking meds @Sardonic ?
this forum is my diary…all my personal stuff is on here if anyone wanted to read about me…it doesn’t bother me. this site has helped me tremendously.
That’s what my mom said. It’s hard for me to accept that, though I suppose it’s possible. I feel like this is part of a plot to destroy me.
What is part of a plot to destroy you? Your meds?
Yes. I think they are part of the system’s plot to destroy individual/complex thought. I am told this is a delusion though. It was/is one of my theories.
Yes, the meds are meant to destroy your delusions. Your theories are probably delusions and the meds are meant to destroy them.
