REGULAR diarists are more likely to suffer headaches, sleeplessness and digestive problems, according to British psychologists. Their finding challenges assumptions that people find it easier to get over a traumatic event if they write about it. "We expected diary keepers to have some benefit, but they were the worst off," says Elaine Duncan of the Glasgow Caledonian University. "In fact, you're better off if you don't write anything."

dont' know about a diary, but am not sure I agree with this. When I've a lot on my mind I can't sleep - I can toss and turn for hours. So I come online and chat to my mates... and then once I've got things out of my head I sleep fine. On the other hand I can end up chatting till quite late - and I might have got to sleep naturally before then ! Ah well. If definitely does make you feel bettee to talk about your problems though (thanks guys !)
