Has anyone tried journaling?

I am preband and getting my date tomorrow. I have been working for a few months on ways that I can cope with Head Hunger, trying to find ways to replace my reading/eating activity with other things. One of them is journaling. Right now I am focusing on the reasons that I want to do this. I have also written some poetry and I found that the few I have done exactly express what I want to say on the subject at hand. And they are things I have always needed to say. Of course one person's poetry is another person's garbage. so I am not so sure anyone else would read get the same thing that I meant in my writing. Anyway it has great meaning to me and an outlet for my heart. I was wondering if anyone else is using journaling or wiritng to help them in their journey.

Thaks, losingjusme. A blog is something I might try. I have never done one, but I think I would enjoy it. I am a writer at heart and it is nice to be taking time to do it.

I've been doing an art journal. Drawing, painting, writing, collage. Photography. It's interesting and occupies hands and the mind.

I have been journaling through my whole process. It does help a lot with figuring out the reasons you eat and battling head hunger. I am also photographing/scrapbooking and using some of my journaling along with that.

I started journaling on the suggestion of my mother-in-law. She thought I might enjoy being able to look back and see how far I've come. So far I've enjoyed it. I think a year from now I'll appreciate it more. I think I'll be able to see that the frustration I feel now was all worth it.

I started off blogging. I thought it would be a good catharsis. In the end, I was just lazy about it and didn't want to take the time. I managed an extraordinaly detailed account of every minutia around my surgery (glad I have that one), and recovery during the first few days, and that was about it. Once I could really get out and move again, blog went byebye. I don't commit to things like that very well.
