Processing About Processing

[emberleo]

I don't like how hard it seems to be to think clearly enough for long enough to use my journal to process.

I'm getting all kinds of processing done, and all kinds of stuff is going on in my life, but when I sit down with intent to document and process further, it just dribbles out my ears, and I'm exhausted at the thought of rehashing it all here.

I don't know if the problem is that this is a somewhat public forum, that it's only read by a handful of people despite its public nature, or because it involves writing things out in the more general sense. I have managed other bits of writing easily enough.

*shrug* I don't know. Once again I find myself tired of being tired.

Would it feel easier, do you think, if you created a filter specifically for processing?

Also, don't be too worried about it. Sometimes when I'm processing, the last thing I want to do is write it all down for everyone else, or even for myself. Going through it is tiring enough, and I just need to get through it. So - this might not be the same for you - but I certainly think it's okay to just kind of be...getting through it, y'know?

I think I remember you needing an audience.
Go back to one of your first audiences? Make a filter for Rascal, and write to her?

mayhap this is not how/where you are processing right now?

For what it's worth, yours is one of a handful of journals I always make sure to read every post of here in Dreamwidth. I don't always comment, and I'm certainly not always current, at least not now while I'm dealing with my own Super Happy Fun Times Tee Em. But I am reading, and I am always holding you in my heart.
