Writing is good for your health.

Since we're on a journal site, I suspect many people may already know this, but I think it's worth repeating anyway:  writing is good for your health.  Check out these links for mentions of how writing impacts physical and psychological well-being:

Study 1
Study 2

So don't worry that you're being self-pitying or dramatic.  Venting is good for the body and the mind.  Turn your frustrations and your joys into words; you'll be healthier for it.

Writing and reading fiction are both ways of escaping life AND immersing yourself in it. But they're healthy, so indulge without any guilt. ;)
