My therapist has suggested I try journaling to help ease anxiety, especially my tendency to get stuck inside my own head and think over the same things again and again. Our session ran out of time before she could explain more though so I'm hoping to get some help here. I'd love to hear from people who journal for mental health reasons. How, exactly do you do it, and does it help?
Pencil and paper? Microsoft Word? An app? And if an app, can you recommend any?
Time of day? What do you write about? Do you destroy or delete it after a bit? Do you read what you've written again or just move on?
