I kept a daily diary on a site called kuro5hin back in the first half of the 00s and my 20s, and it was an amazing stream of consciousness that writing was perhaps even more helpful to me than the community there that read and commented on each other's diaries. I managed to download them all and reading back such intimate and mundane thoughts from an otherwise blurry period of my past is... strange and enlightening. It's amazing how your brain retells the story of your past to paint things in a better light. Writing your thoughts in that style is up there with exercise for healthy management of ADHD IMO. Glad you've found such a tool, I've something I've struggled to get back since I stopped writing my diary.
