Title: Video Diaries Post by: whereisthezen on April 19, 2013, 05:50:31 AM I've been doing them on and off for a while, they are for myself.
Sometimes I watch one that I recorded and I know its me but its hard to comprehend its me. I know one day they will help me move forward. I just state my feelings on good or bad days. Just wanted to share. I still need to journal, I may push myself to do that today. Title: Re: Video Diaries Post by: VeryFree on April 19, 2013, 05:58:36 AM I'm really glad, that I kept a diary over the years. It wasn't a video, but a paper one.
It's good to read back what has happened. Most of it I've forgotten, but reading about it strengenths me in my belief that this r/s was bad... . very bad. Title: Re: Video Diaries Post by: slimmiller on April 19, 2013, 06:15:35 AM I have been keeping a diary journal since the start of it. For one I want to be able to go back and see what all I went through to keep from repeating it and also should my children ever want to know the truth. I do my best to shelter them from it now and at times I even find myself making excuses for her to the kids (why mommy is not at school functions etc etc) red-flag
You do tend to forget as time goes on, which is a good thing but should we ever think they are 'good', the diary can remind us of the 'real' them Title: Re: Video Diaries Post by: GreenTea on April 19, 2013, 07:51:17 AM I've kept a journal since the beginning of our marriage (15+ years now). It helps me keep myself grounded. Recently, I have copied down conversations verbatim to go back and analyze where I went wrong and try to make sense of it all, which I'm finding out is pointless. It also gives me a chance to get out my feelings of anger and confusion, rather than verbalizing them in the heat of the moment. Why add more fuel to the fire, when that fire is going strong all by itself?
