Do you write in a diary or journal?

Yes, I do have one. I write in it about once a month, although I'd do it more if I didn't forget to or I had more time (my "entries" tend to be very long and can take quite some time to write). For the past year I've been thinking about doing short little entries several times a week rather than the long winded ones. I don't know, though, because sometimes I just feel like I have a lot on my mind, and that's when I get the diary out:P. I've always been a diary person, and had one as a kid. It's just my sort of thing, because memories are one of the most important things to me.

I've thought about it before, but I even sort of consider this place like a bit of a diary. I mean that in the sense that when I'm older I could read my comments and stuff, and I could get loads from these comments about what I'm like now. What my thoughts are, my opinions on certain things, the way I behave here, the music I'm listening to, etc etc. Not just this place, but just anywhere with that information. My diary is just one outlet for me. So, the diary is about my feelings and my thoughts on stuff, sometimes personal stuff, sometimes trivial. Either way, it's extremely important to me, and it's probably my most valuable possession because of how stupidly sentimental I am and because I don't trust my memory with certain stuff.

Does the entire Internet count?

I have a private blogspot page which I use as a diary.

Yes. My therapist recommended that I get a recovery journal. Mine is designed to look like a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass. It's lovely. Before that, I've used various food journals religiously, but this is the first time I've written about my feelings on a regular basis.

I use to have one, but then I threw it away. All of the entries were pretty much the same sad stuff written over and over again. Didn't really help me deal with my problems, if anything I kept getting sad every time I looked at it, I was in a pretty unhappy place when I had it. Thing is though, I think that even if I decide to take up writing in a journal again it would still be the same sad stuff written all over again.

I have since I was around 15. I mean, I'm not sure whether you'd call it a diary or a journal because I've always used the two phrases interchangeably, but I get it out every once in a while, sometimes often and sometimes not depending on how exciting my life is, and write everything that troubles me or what I'm thinking or who I want to be or what kind of amazing memory I recently made. It's been an invaluable outlet for me, where I can vent or spill secrets without actually telling someone. I would certainly recommend it

is there really a difference between a diary and a journal?

I wish i had the fucking time.

What's the point?

I write in one to keep track of events that happens. So then I can look back upon my younger self and see how much I've grown or feel the flooding nostalgia.

thats gay

I have a couple old diaries or journals lying around. Once in a blue moon, I do write in them if I feel like I need to express my feelings about something.

I've never really understood why you would, it just seems like an awful idea. Keep it safe in your head!

Is there a difference between a diary and a journal? Well, used to have one, whatever you may call it, when I was a kid. I wrote infrequently, and then I stopped. More recently, I underwent a seriously life-changing event, so it only seemed natural for me to start doing it again. I wrote often, for a while. But shortly thereafter I wrote less and less frequently, and now I don't anymore. I might get back to it. I've had the same diary/journal for ~10 years. It is pretty cool to look back and see how I've changed, and see how certain stages in my life compelled me to write my feelings down.

I live (and subsequently write) for the present.

I did when I was 10. Stopped around 13/14. Now, If I really need to let my thoughts out..., I either tell those I'm close with, blog, or go on an anonymous venting site.

Used to write in a journal every night when I was a kid. My parents told me to. Looking back I think they probably used to read it. When I became a teenager I started my own journal. It was a nice emotional outlet. I had a lot of things going on in my life and it helped me get out my stress.

I've tried diary few times but always failed so I gave up. I just don't know what to write there.

My therapist tells me to, so I do.

No.
