Diarygnosis is a mental health writing prompt journal that is catered to anyone, whether or not they have been diagnosed with a mental disorder. “Diarygnosis” is the combination of the terms “diagnosis” and “diary.” The idea behind it is conscious self-reflection in order to improve one’s mental well-being, not just being a “daily diary.” Turn your negative “diagnoses” into positive ones. The 50 prompts are not listed in any particular order and may be written randomly, based on one’s desires or emotions in the moment. Feel free to “go off script”, so-to-speak, and make each prompt your own by putting it into your own words and thoughts. There is no right or wrong to doing the exercises. Just write truthfully and uninhibitedly. Happy writing and be well!
Example prompts include:
- Have you been diagnosed with a mental illness/disorder? If so, what impact do you think it has had on who you are?
- Have you ever been bullied or been a bully? If so, how did you feel? How does it affect you currently? Have you since seen the other person(s)?
- Have you ever suffered a nervous breakdown? Would you say you have fully recovered from it? How has the experience changed you?
