>>1656Nope, I just journal normally.
I consecrated my journal to Mary, and then I would vent my thoughts to Mary via journaling.
I have a diagnosis of psychosis, and being able to share my thoughts with someone in heaven is deeply reassuring. I can say anything that I can't normally say to other people, and then someone will understand me, and really understand me because by God's grace, they have quasi-omniscience, and I can really get true understanding and true help with my problems.
My problem with journaling is that I would often feel conflicted - I want to journal about more emotional matters, but I also want to journal about my thoughts on some cool theory I have, inspired partially by theories I read on imageboards and inspired partially by the delusions of my mental illness. I would always choose the "cool" thoughts. Nowadays though, I'm beginning to settle down. There's less writing about the "cool" thoughts as I've basically said everything multiple times, and so I'm writing about what matters emotionally more often now.
So, I guess I did kind of want a "cool" diary. I would make my diary cool with what I journaled about (i.e. schizo-theories) though, not by journaling less.
>>1667>schizo mind-vomitRight! This is why I journal. Regularly doing this helps me out. Plus, like I said, my thoughts go to someone above, and so not only do I put the thoughts to paper, but additionally, I can be understood, and be prayed for.
Not only that, but I've gone further, and asked that a carbon copy of my journal entry is spiritually sent to my local bishop, so he sees what I write about.
He recently approved of catechism alterations to assist children with Autism that are learning about the Faith! I feel like this has something to do with me. (but that could just be another schizo-theory) :)
