Keeping a diary? Better think again.

Saw this in today ‘The Straits Times’,
'Talking about a problem is supposed to help one get over it, but apparently writing does the very opposite.
Psychologists have found that keeping a diary is bad for your health, the New Scientist weekly reported. Diarists were more likely than non-diarists to be plagued by headaches, sleeplessness, digestive problems and social awkwardness.
Hmmm… better stop that ‘Dear Diary’ habit …’
Like that also can ahÂ…
What about writing poetry? These psychologists donÂ’t know real one or notÂ… -

instead of a finality, closing the chapter, they brood over it, go back and keep looking and reading the events over and over again...
how not to be manic depressive...
it's just baggage.. baggages people don't throw away....
best leave it alone, let the mind put it away and time wear it away...
and you can leave behind the baggage -

depends on what is the purpose of keeping a diary.... some people keep a diary so that they can write things down, get it off their chest and therefore leave it behind them and move on...
furthermore, i think it's kind of nice and fun to write diaries and then read them again years later... one will find past incidences so hilarious and laughable.. kekeke -
