WFM - I think the point of a journal away from here is that its just you. Nobody else posting in between etc. I use one on my smart phone and it works a treat, all date marked and time stamped (also password protected!). If i think in my head of patterns i can not think of any, but sometimes I sit and flick through my journal and I do see the odd pattern, even if just small mood changes following events or approaching W trips away etc.
Its also good to see how things have progressed, as sometimes its easy to thing we are still at square one, but from my journal I can see that even if our sitch has not moved on, I have as a person.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
