Journaling For Anxiety

14 Anxiety Journals For Anxious Introverts To Stop Overthinking And Start Writing 

With so many self-help books and journals available on the market, introverts may feel increasingly stressed and anxious when deciding which one to choose. Journals that offer exercises to do and self-help tips to follow are fantastic, but when you’ve already got an overcluttered, overthinking brain, sometimes you just want to get things off your chest rather than complete a bunch of things to do in order to release your stress and anxiety, thus hindering your creative freedom.

That’s why these journals are great because they allow you the space to unburden your overthinking mind, put things into perspective, and gain clarity over situations and issues that make you feel weighed down and stuck. By allowing you the freedom to not only express yourself but to decide on actions you wish to take next or not to take, they give you space to release, move on, heal, and grow. As many introverts find talking therapy through family, friends, and professionals difficult due to fear of being judged or being a ‘burden’, with journaling there is no fear, no judgement, just the freedom to jot down your thoughts and feelings, which helps you let go of those things that trouble your mind.

So, if you’re an introvert who’s often anxious, stressed, and overthinks everything and don’t wish to express yourself via talking therapy, then try writing them down in one of these beautiful customised journals and begin your healing journey today.

Most people think, speak, and write in the way they sleep, eat, and drink — with no question ever arising of their relation to the idea. It happens with very few, and then this decisive moment has either an extraordinary propulsive power (the genius) or through anxiety it paralyses the individual (irony).

[ID: a banner for a game. it is light tan with a crumpled paper texture, and reads "with breath & sword" in large blue font, and "a solo-journaling game that helps you fight anxiety as you fight monster" below it in smaller font. there is lineart of gauntlets lying over a sword with some flowers at the bottom. end ID]

You find yourself tied to the monsters. The scratchy feeling in your chest. The way your hands tremble. The sweat that dots your upper lip when your senses are telling you a monster is close, again, now, and it’s your job to fight it. To stand up for your ideals and stand up to the threat. Whether you tame it, or this is truly a monster that needs to be slain, only time will tell.

 You know you will succeed. You always have before. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be a challenge.

 Grab your gear. Put on your boots. You know how to find it. You know what to do.

 First, you just need to steady yourself.

[ID: a page spread from the game. it shows "step four" on one side, which goes over the five aspects of the game's oracle. on the other side it shows the first oracle component, where something you can taste determines what your heroic core is. the page is minimally designed, with a blue border and text on a white background, tan accents, and one image of a dragon. end ID]

With Breath & Sword is a solo-journaling TTRPG to help players combat anxiety. 

In the game, you play as a monster-fighter, who is being summoned once again due to the presence of a new monster. Each time a monster appears, you struggle with the emotional effects of the magic: effects that look a lot like anxiety. You must steady yourself before you go off to fight: in the game and in real life.

Over the course of WB&S, players will participate in grounding methods and breathing techniques to calm themselves from an anxiety attack. These methods also serve as the game's oracle in order to determine how the story goes. 

What You'll Need:

A safe space to play 

A method of writing or recording

[ID: a page spread from the game. it is the section called "the science" and goes over the psychology behind the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique, the 4-7-8 breathing method, and destroying journaling. it has a few lines about narrative and play therapy, and that the creator of the game used these methods in his social work with neurodivergent teens and adults. end ID]

Pro tip

Journals are supposed to be messy. Don't pay attention to the "bullet journal girlies" on your social media and their neat little to-do lists and the things they're grateful for. Cause at the end of the day I wouldn't have the energy or the neurotypical-ness to keep up to date with bullet journaling. Just grab ya notebook and write whatever you feel. Talk about your feelings, both the beautiful and the ugly ones. Scribble in it. Doodle in it. Vent in it. Write cringey poetry. Write stories. Release your inner Regina George on that bitch. You don't need to make it fancy, your journal can be your best friend if you just let it.

no, no one could ever accuse you of taking things too easy. I'm not saying it to be cute. you have to know by now, the way you run yourself into the ground. living so cautiously, as if not to leave your own footprints in the snow. I wonder if you've ever allowed yourself the comfort of curling into your own arms at the end of a well-worked day, never mind the idea of accepting your own embrace any given day at all.

I wish someone would have told you sooner, that things can be sweet without the sweat of deserving it. that it isn't selfish to enjoy. that basking in something doesn't mean you're any closer to losing it. a good job, a good friend, a good love enters your life and soon you'll wonder what you can do to earn what you now already have.

I've felt it, the way the bed shifts when you've finally fallen asleep. muscles so tangled and mind so busy, that even in the space you charade rest, there's still something braced. something that only lets go when sleep forces a knuckle unfurled; the weight of all your knots relaxing.

it doesn't matter how this winding was born; if reason or excuse sits more comfortably on your tongue. I worry about how long a star can sustain imploding; wonder with every year of steeled lungs, you're wiping away another tally mark at the end of the line. would it scare you, if I said there is no collapse in easing your shoulders back? that you have kept watch for such a long time, what's rung all the alarms has long since gone. if I told you there was no danger in closing your eyes right here. would you believe me?

very messy sketches of ford I did today during my trip to the doctor bc why not?

I’m not really a fanchild enjoyer unfortunately (I’m more of a fusion enjoyer), BUT a while back I shared my dream on discord where Fear and Anxiety had a son named “Terror” (specifically the feeling of when you scare someone on purpose, which doesn’t make that much sense but that’s dream logic for you). There were also scenes where they ordered a pizza, and Fear gave Anxiety a star bit flower.

@randomuser678 reimagined the fanchild being named Shivers which is super cute!

I’m tired of being tired, I’m tired of living, I’m tired of looking out of the window and being terrified of the outside world and the people in it

I’m chronically overwhelmed even though I just spend most of my time rotting I’m my room

Something has to give but I’m just slowly breaking
