I've gotten into journaling lately and it's been...a ride, not gonna lie.
As I deal with my emotions in a healthy manner and not through a pint of Haagen-Dazs, I have to acknowledge something painful in addition to my response to it. Many natural responses are anger, shutting down, and well, eating a pint of Haagen-Dazs.
Looking into getting the right type of journal was not an easy task.
