Do any of you journal and is any of that stored online

I like the idea of a website but I'm intending to write some extremely personal stuff so I imagine that's not a good idea

For anyone that does not journal you should journal it really does help to still the storm of feelings and reflect over current and past events

Mishima unrelated except that I am also gay

>Do any of you journal and is any of that stored online

hey thats a great idea i wonder if theres a place like that somewhere

I have a book in my bag that I use to write in. It was late 2021 when I started to write in it. Mainly wrote down what time I got out of work for breaks, how much I drank that night and what time I went to bed. Now I rarely write in it, I think the last time I wrote in it was a few months ago. I got to check really.

Well there are lots of options but I was interested more in the preference
I find my writing gets lost in the default notes apps and its often frustrating to include images and links in a satisfying way

What gave you the urge to write those things
Were you trying to improve your health

>>82064822 (OP)
Yep, but oddly enough mine is a private Instagram account. Not the best choice I know but I've had it since I was a teenager. I like associating images with how I feel, I suppose that's a reason as to why I like imageboards and specifically here too.

I used to use penzu and shit, it always fell off though. I do it irregularly on paper now

>What gave you the urge to write those things
All I can remember was while I was in the office depot near home, I saw a composition book and grabbed it. and just started to write things down in it.
>Were you trying to improve your health
not really. Just what I did that day. like what time did I wake up in the morning, what time did I arrived at work. What time was my breaks, and lunch, what kind of people I encounter that day. How I felt, what was the weather like that day. What time I came home and what I did for the night. Wrote how much I drank that night.
From my last entry
"3/11. New year...Same job. but I feel so different than the person I once was. Ever since I went that Lamb of God concert. I don't like feel like the same person I once was before attending that show. Now Several months later...still feel different. I asked out another random girl. "Sorry but have a bf"..."Sigh" at least you tried again. I haven't had a drink since last July."
Now a year sober now if you wanna know anon.

I think that's a very interesting approach, and congrats on being a year sober!

Would you get much satisfaction from reflecting back on some fragments of your life when you used to drink? I have ADHD myself so when an interesting memory resurfaces I hop on the computer or pull out a pad to get all my thoughts and feelings before they sink back into the abyss.

I mean looking back on it now and reading what I wrote down does make me reflect on what I was feeling a couple of years ago. Like I wasn't happy with my job/jobs.Things like "It just feels like no one likes each other.", "This job just feels so meaningless in my eyes.", "I just feel so done...".
Let alone I was drinking heavily like more than a six cans a night. Like 8+ a night and pass out past midnight. From one of my entries "3:36am Drunk "asf", going to bed at 4:12 am."
>congrats on being a year sober!
thank you

I can see the appeal of instagram as a blog more than social media, the algo is horrid

yeah. i journal every day. sometimes multiple times a day. i keep it online to keep myself honest, even though it's only for my eyes really. it's the last tether i have that is keeping me a degree of sane.
