Writing as Therapy

In this hectic world we live in, things are bound to get to us sooner or later. When they do, we all have our own ways of dealing with them: some go for a run, others watch a funny video or have a chat with a friend over a drink. But have you ever tried creative writing as a therapy when you are feeling down?

Just pick up a pen or open your laptop and write down the first few things that come to mind. Then use them as temporary anchors around which to create a story or a poem, or anything else in between. Let your feelings and imagination lead you through your text; let them tell you a story to write.
