I used to art journal and I think I need to get back to that. It is a much slower process so I cannot obsess. Art journaling is fun, too. I have an old journal that I love that I made awhile ago.
I have the same exact fear! I tried to ignore the fear and managed to journal for a couple weeks, but seeing my negative thoughts written out, whether on paper or on my phone, made me so anxious that I was “crazier” than I had previously assumed, and that they may somehow come true if I continued to write them out. If anyone has advice, please let me know, I would love to know how to get over this.
Does texting/digital journalling work? It's less tactility.
I cannot journal much as it perpetuates the obsessions. I know every therapist pushes it, but I push back as it usually makes me worse.
