I have tried a few times to journal when I want to let things out of my system.. but haven't found it much helpful in reducing the miserable feeling. Maybe if I am consistent it will change things.
I have always found it difficult journaling. Whenever I tried to journal my pain it never became lighter.
I have also been scared of any of my writing being accessible to anyone, i like your idea and will try it.
I am having issue with going back after viewing a searched item. Instead of taking me back to the search results, I keep going to the default home page.
