What is Reddit's opinion of Mini Composition Book, Note Pad, 3 Pack in 3 different color Red, Green & Blue?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Cool story. I never loved reporter's notebooks, which have a way of signaling I'M A REPORTER. Also hard to put in a pants pocket. For notes in the field I've always preferred something smaller and more discreet, like the mini composition book.

I try not to read the entries I write when I’m angry. But I just need to get it out somehow. I don’t have a fancy journal, just a small moleskine. I don’t have prompts; basically just a brain dump of everything I feel that day. I have a small one of these in my purse for jotting things down during the day. It also helps so I remember what I want to talk about during therapy because I always forget.

Also - the key with anything is that it needs to be easy enough to make a routine. Like, with me and running, on vacation I can get out and run. If you go on a week long holiday, you might not have a swimming outlet available. So coming back, it might be hard to "get back into the groove". To me, swimming sounds like a HUUGE chore, but I know someone on the discord does it regularly so it's probably not super farfetched. Plus I just learned how to swim like 4 years ago so it's still "new" for me :p

​

Sleep is my kryptonite as well. It might be super hypocritical but I probably got 5-4 hours of sleep a night for the past 15 years, typically interrupted sleep. The only thing that fixed it for me was the right combo of stimulants. But to help with the restlessness - try running/exercising when you are restless (I've gotten up and run between 1 and 5 am many times) or a good masturbation session can tend to up your dopamine to the point where you can fall asleep.

Lists are always good physical. I have several packs of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074DDD548 and they fit in my pocket really nicely. In fact, I carry a purse. Basically the only people who've given me grief about it have been my brother and FIL, but I can't tell you the times where it has been a great stress reliever when I see I'm late for something and know I won't forget a thing if I just grabbed my purse. It reduces the shit you need to grab and leave the house from like 10 things to just the one (maybe 2 if you need to put on shoes). Also, keep a pair of shoes in the car.

​

A final note, be receptive to all your psych's suggestions. They might see anxiety or depression as the most "need to fix" issue and treat that first. I've seen several people "blow up" on here because after meeting with a psych they prescribed them an SSRI or another antidepressant. Lots of times, symptoms overlap and you can't tell "what's left" without peeling back the onion as it were. I often tell people (well, just my psych and wife) that my antidepressant is for me. The adderall is for everyone else so I'm less of a dick :p
