I Can Write Well When I'm Down And In Trouble, What About You?

When I am down and upset like right now, I come straight to Mylot! I find writing very therapeutic. I used to write a daily diary writing about my feelings, emotions and life's difficulties, then my ex found and read them and I felt violated that I burnt all my diaries. I don't write any more, I just type, I come to Mylot because I know people will listen, understand and be very supportive, kind of like therapy really. I am facing the heartbreak of losing a friend of 9 years today and straight away I came to Mylot and put the discussion out there because I know that I will get warmth, support and caring advice given.

I can write well when I'm writing about a loved one. The words simply flow out and I write with such strong emotions. Unlike if I'm writing about something else. The well dries up quickly.

hi rberon, I can write out my feelings when I am depressed, but not an article, I find it hard to write out anything on work when I am down.

That's definitely an effective way to get things going. I'm for one, can write a poem in just less than an hour. We can really draw some inspiration on the thingst hat transpired to us. It is one way to release our disappointments and frustrations, that is in writing. I find it therapeutic, not to menition ,if we share it to others also. Thanks

Hi friend, good to know that you can write while depressed, i think really you had a unique skill. Most of the persons even writers, don't have the ability to write new articles while they are depressed. I like writing, but i will listen music while i am stressed to come out from it

Many times, my armor has been my pen and paper when i am down. I used to have a journal.. Everyday i wrote what happened to that day. But it's been quite long now since the last time I opened it. But most of the time, i have with me my little notebook..I prefer writing it on a paper compared saving it on any of my accounts.. Like I always tell writing has been my outlet for my emotions. Like what you said, no one is hurt, you can express all you want, your anger, your frustrations and your depressions. And when it comes from the heart, it just comes so natural. It flows very smoothly. Sometimes, you can even create a lil story out of nowhere.. It's just so comfortable..

Yeah I agree to that most of the good writers around became good writers because they were into something that puts them down and gets inspired to write because of this. When the feeling gets too intense writing can sometimes be the best outlet of it since you can focus your creative juices towards it and eventually you get the best out of it.

I find writing to be a good way to get my emotions out.. Like you said I am not hurting anyone; well unless I am chewing them out online..lol No I do not do that for the most part.. I feel that when I type out my thoughts they become complete thoughts instead of partical or random thoughts that come to mind.. Also if I decide it is important for someone to see what I am feeling I can send it via email or IM.. This way I am not interupted, my thought processes is complete.. and I have prove that I did explain what I thought.. I have had many people in the past use my words against me.. along with my short term memory, which is not so great.. And it is nice to share things here because I can have others see how I am feeling and recieve their feedback; before addressing the person offline..

rberon: It differs from people to people. I can write only when my mind is happy and has no problems. If there house hold problems I tend not to write but watch video or read books. I cannot concentrate and write when I am having issues with others,(rarely nowadays--because I know I depend on others for every thing in the foreign country)

Well, I also write when I'm down and angry. There were several times that I wrote articles when I was hurt but my teen-aged daughter told me not to post the articles immediately because I just wrote that because I was so hurt and angry. It's true when I was already in my normal self, I decided to defer the posting of the articles.

In my case, I cannot focus well in writing when I'm down or in trouble. I'm really losing my concentration. :)

Yes I am in the same way with you,when I am down and I will be very emotional and sensitivity,then there are a lot of thinking come to my mind and push me to write something,so I think all the good writer are emotional,do you agree with me?

I can see myself in you ! When i am so depress i write so well and so fast. I used to write when am so depressed . I poured all my angst and fears into writing , no holds barred. It is so good in writing it don't complains or argues with you . Writing like a close confidant to me , i can be me , no pretensions and hypocrisy. It heals me , it is my solace.

Just like you, I can write when I'm broken too. Oh and honestly when I checked my diary, blog site, note at FB, it's funny to admit that I have more write ups when I'm down than when I am happy =) I believe I haven't hurt someone.. but being hurt- well I've been hurt a lot x)

Hi rberon,If I write properly,it has nothing to do with whether I'm in a bad or good mood.I just write.I love to write,so it doesn't matter.

I also write according to certain feelings , happy and sad whatever mood I am in my writing normally reflect it . Just when I am doing more thing I make a lot of mistake because I am focus on too much different things . But whenever I am down , I dont write it down , I may start a article on how to get your mood up .

I can control my emotions. I can smile even in problems also. my painful past experiences taught those lessons which will bring smile on my face when my heart is filled with sorrow.

hi, for me the emotion that i have feel really helps me to create discussion and also to response here,especially when i am lonely because of love,i usually put sad and heart broken discussion,sometimes the more sad i am the more discussion i can create.

I know one thing that I cannot write well when Im tired or when Im sleepy . When Im in a bad mood, I write while listening to music because it can help me to express what I feel inside and make me feel better. I know for sure that I cannot knit or crochet when Im angry because it might ruin the whole project, I'll make more mistake when Im angry so it might anger me more When Im in bad mood and have a lot of trouble, writing can help to let out the sadness or anger, I also go out to walk alone so it can help me to be relax and to find new idea for my next writing.

Hi rberon! Sometimes I also write when I am lonely or emotionally depressed. But if I would choose I would like to write when I am in good mood so I can write good things. Actually there are some articles that I have written during the time that I am really depressed but I never uploaded those articles. I just keep some of those to myself. Have a nice day!
