Thanks for your care and personal experience. I’ll say that perhaps one day I can re-examine whether this is something I can reasonably do. It’s nice to hear that it helped you.

Both the reasons you listed may be part of it. I will try to approach it from your perspective which can help me to force myself. I will be able to do it if I really dedicate time and attention to it.

Thanks, if I somehow stumble on somebody who mentions even one thing I can relate to, I’ll be sure to listen and absorb what was said.

What do you think of combining this approach with simple train of thought and/or sporadic notes? Funnily enough I didn’t even think of writing on a schedule or in a structured way until you just mentioned it.

Yes I was quite afraid, or maybe just somewhat prepared, that a healthy solution is not possible.

I guess I should note that a minimization of pain is better than nothing. So I’ll take any ideas that are healthy-adjacent at least.

Thanks, I’ll work towards opening up with myself and trying something

I really appreciate this idea. I’ve always thought I was no good at traditional “art” but perhaps I need to broaden my idea of what will constitute art and what can be made and kept in plain sight.

Thank you. This is really insightful and something that I think might be a robust solution for me. I’ll research GPG more, I clearly need to.

Sorry my writing may not be at its best, my sleep is terrible and it affects me more than I think.

Not sure if it was posted before. Requirements would be encrypted journal entries for digital and pen/paper for cases where something needs to be truly destroyed.

I think I’ve settled on a raspberry pi and some journaling program or simply a text editor. It’s been good to brainstorm.
