A daily diary and depression
There are many doctors who believe that people with depression can benefit from keeping a daily diary.
A daily diary kept by people with depression is believed to be helpful in processing the range of emotions that people with depression experience. This is especially beneficial if you suffer from depression and have started a new medication.
Your doctor may review your diary and the new medications you have started and compare your feelings and the effects of the new medications. A daily diary for people with depression is a great idea for your doctor to look at and see exactly what was going on, as opposed to trying to remember from memory.
So not only is a daily diary helpful for your doctor to see how your medications are working, but you can also use the daily diary to process some of the feelings you are experiencing.
Even if you attend counseling sessions regularly, you may not always feel completely comfortable telling your counselor everything you're really experiencing. This is where a daily diary can be helpful.
This is especially true if you've just changed advisors because you need to build trust before you can fully open up. Journaling allows you to get out your thoughts and frustrations that were left unsaid.
This can also be helpful when attending group meetings. A daily journal can be helpful because taking the time to review your daily journal will help you remember that you are not alone after a group session. A daily journal can be a confidence builder if you suffer from depression. It can really help you not feel so alone.
The daily journal can also serve many other purposes. It can be a helpful tool for you to look back on, especially after going through some of the darker periods of depression. Journaling can help you remember that you survived some difficult things and came out on the other side. Again, it can be a great confidence builder.
A daily journal for depression is a great idea. Not only can it help you keep up with your feelings as you change medications or even therapists, but it can also help you look back and see that you got through dark times and survived. So if you suffer from depression, you may want to consider keeping a daily journal.
Try it and see if it helps you in the long run. Here's to brighter days.
