Does journaling help make you feel better?

Writing is a good and creative outlet. Keep it up :) Try to read and learn too. You'll become better and understanding.

Three suggestions: 1. Pray. No, not in the form of kneeling, bowing your head and yelling out every sin you've ever done.

Just talk. Tell God everything you've ever felt. Scared of them hearing?

Do it in your head! I do this every night and I fall asleep with God's voice in my head. 3.

Read the Bible. If you don't have a Bible at home, then look up an online bible. Just read it all the way through!

Read Psalms first and Job! These will give you peace! Now for the actual answer to the question: 4.Journaling.

This is another way I talk to God. Yes, journaling helps. A lot.

I write out all my troubles as if I'm talking to my best friend! Also, if your dad abuses you, then get help immediately! Best wishes, much love and I'm PRAYING FOR YOU!

There is something healing about changing a thought into words, which is why counseling and talking to others brings people such relief. Journaling helps based on the same principle. If you are concerned about someone reading it, you don't need to save it.

You can write something on the computer and delete it rather than save it. I would write it in an email file, so the computer doesn't auto save a word file. Or you can do the same with txt messaging.

Your school should also have a counselor that you can seek out.

Yes you should try it. It helps some people alot. A differentiation is to sit down and write all your bad feelings down then tear them up and burn them.It helps you get closure and can make you feel as though those problems are behind you.

Degree in psychology, and have had my own psychological issues.

Even if you don't have your own computer, you can make it so only people who know your URL can see it and just make sure to log out after every time then your parents won't be able to read it. I started a blog in the summer when I was in deep with self harm and my depression and I found it helped A LOT. I blog almost 3 times a day sometimes!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
