But every once in a while something important comes through. I can now tell almost immediately when my mood is going up too high or down too low just by what I write about or how often I write. A few years ago I finally got in touch with my anger by journaling. I can now more easily figure out what is upsetting me at the time rather than repressing those emotions. In most cases, I can work through that anger before I get to the boiling point by directing my anger in an assertive way at the person I am angry with. Journaling has been a very useful too in recovery for me from bipolar disorder. Journaling
