Inktober day 17: Journal. Some dude once told me that people who journal have higher anxiety according to some study. At the time I thought, if true, it was the journaling causing the anxiety due to over analysis of every aspect of ones life, particularly the stressful ones. As I remember that random conversation at a bar in Portland many years ago, I now find it equally possible that people predisposed to anxiety pick up journaling to sublimate the overthinking into a tangible form that allows them to process the emotions. Whatever the case, I haven't journaled seriously for about 20 years and I have plenty of anxiety, so maybe it's time to give it another go.
