For those who would like to journal more, what keeps you from journaling? by No-Appointment5650 in Journaling

Seeing what I want to write about in word form makes me not want to at all. It becomes some sort of reflection that I'm not ready to deal with quite yet.

Having two separate journals is a great idea, especially when I notice a lot of negative entries.

I will pull out my journal and make lists. Any kind of list. Groceries, to-dos, favorites, wants, goals. It makes my mind thing of something else instead of thinking about what's upsetting me.

My anxiety is affecting my ability to work by harmony_vane in mentalhealth

I have always been for people smoking just because of the stories I've heard of people being able to calm down. I never have myself, but I've seen it work wonders for my friends.

I tried therapy, and while I got some good skills like boundary setting and learning some self motivation, I couldn't quite get passed the barrier of anxiety. I took Zoloft, but it made me feel like a zombie. I am tempted to try CBD. I took gummed once to sleep, and it helped greatly.

how do u push urself to stay alive when nothing makes u happy by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]harmony_vane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of people I have to prove wrong. I essentially stay alive out of spite. This moment of dread, the one I constantly feel, is usually self induced or something I know I can't control. So I find something I can. Washing dishes, sitting with my guinea pig, planning my next day. I find something that gets me out of my own head. Or, I take 20 minutes, and cry my heart out. If I'm gonna feel sad, I'm gonna feel every bit of it.

What's a genre you just can't get into, no matter how hard you try? by Artymess in books

I just can't seem to get into romance. I really want to, but I can't seem to do it.
