I write a diary to myself, not every day by any means, only when I need it.
It's not a review of events that have happened; it's a discussion with myself or at least another side of myself.
It allows me to self-rationalise about things that I'm neurotic about; when I'm worried about patient cases or money or anything like that, I can write it down to myself.
I can go back to periods that I wrote about before and realise that that, too, did pass; I can realise that sometimes anticipating stress is not the best course of action (almost all the time).
I've written my diary since 2008, and it's now like a friend to me, someone I can share my deepest, darkest, maddest thoughts with.
No one will ever find it; it will die with me.
You should try it. It helps.
