    I know this is a weird question but I want to know this. Are diary's a good way to record your feelings about your sexuality and gender? I am confused about my gender and sexuality and I'm wondering about recording my feelings about it every day in a diary.
    Do you think this is a good idea??

    I think it's a great idea. Diaries can help you organise your thoughts to help you make more sense of them. The brain, mine anyway, doesn't process things in any order. There is definitely no harm in trying.

    Our brains are really bad and processing emotions slowly. Writing them on paper allows you to slow down, process your emotions, and even give them meaning. What is hard is to be honest about your feelings. Allow yourself to write down exactly how you are feeling, try not to analyze anything right away.

    This is also why a lot of people feel that EC is so helpful to them. Almost magically. This forum is one of the first places that people will write down their thoughts. Its powerful.

    Sure! Diaries are helpful to deal with all kinds of feelings. Sometimes it helps when you see your thoughts on paper. And maybe you can even make sense of your thoughts that way. Even if not, it's definitely not a bad idea.
