Writing is a therapeutic hobby.
Has anyone here tried writing as a therapy?
I used to do free writing in the hours of distress. And most of the times it used to work like a miracle for me. So many times, unintentionally, this habit of free writing gave me the solutions to the issues I'd be dealing with. But for a couple of years now, I've been overly occupied with my studies & job related duties. So couldn't find time to do free writing. As a result, I started feeling empty inside as if I haven't talked to myself for such a long time.
Yesterday I did write something and posted it on a new blog of my own. It's neither a masterpiece nor was it written with the intention of getting an audience. But I really feel relieved after doing this.

Yes, couldn't agree more 😊
Whenever I feel so distracted in doing my daily activities, I journal my thoughts and plan soon after I wake up. It helps me get back on track.

Have a good day/evening 💜
I love writing! I have so much in mind but not much people around me are a good listener so I write a lot to let out things in my head. It is therapeutic, especially when I have things that is ruminating in my head- writing them down really makes me calm and my head more clear. I can finish a newly bought notebook in a month because I wrote too much haha
@agreeableDime6679 Definitely is for me.
Writing is great! I have always liked journaling and writing creatively. I should do that more often this week.

really glad that works for you. For whatever reason around age 18 I stopped getting relief. I just make myself more and more upset by putting it on paper. There are very few solutions to my current stressors other than just manage the stress response.
