i've sorta felt empty lately. i constantly feel this urge to self-medicate somehow, but i don't have access to weed and i refuse to drink alcohol because hangovers give me anxiety attacks. i don't know how to deal with this feeling of emptiness, since most of the time i just don't feel like interacting with anyone and i don't have much to do with the spare time i have, and i have a lot of it.

    i do keep one, but lately i've only written once every few weeks since most of my days are relatively uneventful and i don't know what to write. i should do the word count limit thing though, thanks for the suggestion. <3

      I'd say if you don't know what to write, then don't think about it. Just poor words out even if they're total nonsense. It'll help maintain the habit.

        i'll try to do that. i think the problem is that i write as if someone else is gonna read it, so i want every sentence to have meaning. but i'm the only one who is ever gonna read it. again, thank you for the suggestion

      I journal without thinking for 15 minutes straight. The first couple minutes you are self conscious, but after that point it's just free form. It will 100% change your day.
