How often and when do you journal?

Do you keep a blog? Journal? How often are you posting?

I find it difficult expressing myself when in height of emotion. Especially when something upsets me. I tend to internalise my feelings to a point I can’t even update my private journal. I think it’s because expressing means accepting what’s happened ‘to me’ and I’m not ready to sign off and put a box around my situation.

So sometimes I log off. Not because nothing is going on, but because too much is! And I want to be more in control of my emotions before sharing with you all, even before sharing in my private diary. How do you respond to negative situations?

What about talking to others about a situation / event that you’ve just experienced? Are you able to pick up the phone and vent? I used to be able to, but not any more! Is that maturity? Or insecurity?
