I often consider writing as a form of therapy. Is that mean that I am ill?
I do not think I am mentally ill. Or, perhaps, each of us has a mental disorder. The case is that some of us are mentally sick without a doubt, and some can, more or less efficiently, hide the illness from the external world. I do not know. What I know is that writing makes me feel better. The more I do it, the more I want it. I cannot imagine days without writing. For today (I wrote this text on the 1st of September, 2022), I still try to write text daily. I merely love this mental exercise. I find it fascinating that each day I have something to say. Even though I do not feel ill or need therapy, I consider writing a form of treatment. For example, by doing it, we can always try to sort things out rationally and analyze and contemplate many things without overthinking.
I’ve already written a post that too much thinking can complicate your life, my Dear Friend. Still, for me, sorting out many things in one’s head can be treated as a form of therapy.
Writing out thoughts, insights, and ideas, and later developing them, arguing, is one of the best mental activities people can do for themselves and others. If you still have doubts about whether to write or not, my Dear Friend, I genuinely want to encourage you to do it. Doing it will prove to future generations that you did not live in the dark ages. Does the war in Ukraine demonstrate that I live in the dark ages? Yes and no. Yes, because war is tragic, and Putin proves he is mentally from the dark ages. No, because wars are inevitable in human civilization’s development.
