Managing knowledge and feelings that can't be shared (lemmy.world)

If you are unable to share certain thoughts or feelings with any other human in any meaningful way, how can a person manage this in a healthy way?

Both psychologically sound and proven methods as well as personal anecdotes are welcome.

Please assume sharing is non-negotiable which precludes close friends, family, and/or professionals.

Start by just writing what you did that day. When you woke up. What you ate. Who you interacted with. How you felt throught the day. Eventually you will start to open up to yourself. Thats when the words seem to start writing themselves.

What do you think of combining this approach with simple train of thought and/or sporadic notes? Funnily enough I didn’t even think of writing on a schedule or in a structured way until you just mentioned it.

Maybe look into bullet journaling? Its not as straight forword as just writing down your thoughts. Its a more intimidating form of journaling, but in a good way. When i used that method i found that its complex format did a really good job at filtering my thoughts. Which took a lot of weight off my shoulders, allowing me to put more focus into bettering myself.
