how common is journaling among trannies? has keeping a journal helped your mental health or your understanding of your gender identity?
wow yall are lame
>>35521135>journalmalebrainedI do have diary though
fembrained and I didn't have one because of that
>>35521135i used to write in a journal but i stopped mostly; and now that i have my fiancee i see little need to use it anymore really; im happywhen i need to i just talk to my dearest friends that care for me most; my bestie; a uk friend from this board; a reconnected chicago friend from this board; and a very close pso2 friend from texas (i have feelings variously still for all of them, doubt that will ever change, fiancee knows about that from day 1 and has been fine with it, which im grateful for)
>>35521135I really wanna try journaling but I struggle with trying to form any sort of consistent routine or habits and it's practical a miracle that I manage to remember to take my HRT every day. And it always just feels kinda forced somehow, I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm just writing to write and only rarely do I feel like I've gotten anything out of it besides a page I'm gonna open the book up and glance at a few times before deciding not to read any of it to my therapist
i guess u can see some.
>>35521135i used to in high school didn't help much but it was fun, stopped after school counselour found it and outed me to the entire school faculty so stopped cuz it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth
>>35523400it doesn't need to be a routine. I made a google docs form that I submit to. I forget about it for months at a time but then go manic
>>35523513>stopped after school counselour found it and outed me to the entire school facultyWhat is with this shit. Why do school counselors have ZERO sense of privacy or emotional safety? My boyfriend got fucked in a similar manner and won't go to a therapist as an adult now
>>35521135I write infrequently in a journal when i go outside to collect my thoughts.It hasn't really helped my mental health more just putting things into words i guess.
>>35521135Not anymore. Can’t have people peeping through my grimoires.
I wanted to do a transition diary but my life just isn't interesting enough for daily entries so it was repurposed as a journal, I write two to six pages every weekend nowIt is helpful to have an outlet for your thoughts but other than that it's more to allow me to look back at my journey in a few years and see how far I've comeor alternatively, to see I still have the exact same problems and insecurities and all
I write in a diary, it helps me a lot actually with getting my thoughts out SOMEWHERE at least
I wrote in one a lot during the first few years of my transition when i was going through so many mental physical and emotional changes but i haven't really had much of note to put in lately. Usually just if i have some sort of breakthrough or realization on mushrooms that i want to look back on. I have a dream journal that is similarly rare in frequency but in many ways i find it even more interesting to look back on
>>35525076I recently found my old dream journal from the early 2010s and I was genuinely surprised how many tranny-coded dreams I already had at that point
I have a couple of different journals for different topics. Like tarot.
>>35525105Same lolSo many "I'm in my ((correct)) body" entries >.<
>>35525155that and a bunch of "I see a woman and she looks just like me"
>>35521135I started one literally yesterday
