# A private page for the loop you'd like to put down.

_Externalising thoughts is well-evidenced. Doing it on a server you don't control is something else entirely._

Writing anxious thoughts down loosens their grip. Most apps that help with this also collect, analyse, and graph what you wrote.

The Sealed Journal does none of that. The thought goes onto a locked page and stays there.

When you re-read it the next morning, you may find it has changed. You may not. Either way, it is yours.

## Questions

### Does writing actually reduce anxious looping?

Completing a sentence moves a thought from something you are experiencing to something you can look at. That shift is the practice; the essay on the site explains it at length.

### Is there mood tracking or a worry score?

No. Nothing is measured, graphed, or compared against yesterday.

### What if I have nothing to write?

Then the night is short. A single line is a complete session here.
