Journal prompts to get to know yourself include reflecting on your experiences, emotions, and values.
Reflect on your experiences
- How has a recent accomplishment made you feel more self-worth? I haven't had many accomplishments but I had some.
- What have you learned from a challenging situation? Well the time I was in my own apartment and I got kicked out by my mother because well Jason tells me one thing and no one person doesn't tell me anything. So I don't know what happened. Jason tells me that I ran down the hall screaming and one time he thought he saw me going out into the hallway with my shirt off. I can swear to you that I didn't take off my shirt!
- What was I like when I was younger? I was quiet, shy and tried to keep to myself. When I started preschool, I was pretty quiet and shy. Then I started kindergarten. I saw this little red headed kid named Paul Beaumont.
- What do I want to improve about myself? I would like to find other individuals like me to hang out with. More like this. I would like to hang out with neurodiverent people rather than neurotypical people. Neurodiverent are people who have selective mutism, ADHD, autism, APD. I have APD and SM. Not all people with ADHD are like Jason. Jason is just an idiot and lazy ass son-of-a-bitches. He is also has too much anxiety and depression!
Reflect on your emotions
- What are my most common emotions? anger and anxiety? Is that right?
- Which emotions do I tend to ignore? I most commonly ignore anxiety and anger because it's the only two psychological emotions. Well anger is not but anxiety is a psychological condition.
- How do I process my feelings? I don't know, I tend to ignore my feelings as they do not matter. Everyone else ignores my feelings.
Reflect on your values
- What are my core values? My core values are there is a scary world out there. I am a burden.
- What are my deeply-held beliefs? That all people with ADHD are assholes. But then again, I might have ADHD too. So I could very well be an asshole also.
- How do my goals match up with my values? Well.......I don't know.
Reflect on your life
- How is my life different than how I thought it would be? I developed selective mutism at age 4.
- What worries me the most right now? I know that no one will believe this but I think about my future all the time and think about my past. I think how might my life be different if I hadn't developed selective mutism. Then I think about the future. Where will I be in 5 years? 10 years? I will never get an apartment ever again. My mom just wanted me to experience it just this one time.
- What keeps me awake at night? My anxious thoughts keep me up at night. Like what I had on Thursday Feb 27 night into Friday morning Feb 28. There is a blog about it yesterday on Feb 28.
- What do I like most about myself? Well............I don't know.
- What are my strengths and weaknesses? Well.........I don't know.
Other journaling prompts
- What do I want to work toward? I can't do that until I get rid of Jason.
- What's something new I want to try? I would like to meet neurodivergent friends but my mom think they will be like Jason-----assholes who have no empath and are lazy and have anxiety and depression.
- What was a time I overcame a challenge? I can't remember a time where I overcame a challenge.
- Who or what events have helped determine who I am today? Well, this my damn fault that I developed selective mutism.
Journaling can help you process your thoughts and emotions in a healthy way.
