I went to the ER Sunday morning with chest pains, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, and nausea...turns out it was a panic attack. Followed up with my primary care doctor yesterday and one thing he recommended was journaling. I'll be seeing my pain doctor tomorrow and will talk to him about therapy because honestly this past month my stress levels have just been out of control, constant flare ups, and while I am normally good an managing stress I just can't seem to get a grip with all the latest stuff that has been happening and every time I think I'm doing better some little thing sends me off the rails. The constant flare ups and now a panic attack...it's definitely taking a physical toll on me so I need help.

But anyway...do any of you journal and find it helpful? Online or in a notebook? Any recommendations? Obviously if I end up seeing a therapist they will have some advice but I want to start looking into this I think and gather some recommendations. Thanks!
