#audio journaling

I know I've casually mentioned that I use a tape recorder in a previous post about how much TMA has effected my life but. I was not exaggerating.

Just yesterday night I was having a mental breakdown talking to myself about stuffs and then I went, oh shit, I gotta record this.

I fucking paused my disassociated panic attack to run across the house, sit down with my tape recorder, turn the recorder on, say that I was in a shit mental state, and then continue on with my breakdown.

I shit you not I just *paused* the breakdown in order to grab my tape recorder. It shouldn't be funny that no matter what I do I need my recorder, but it kinda is.

I mean, I don't go anywhere without my SONY microcassette-corder M-560V. I don't leave the house with it. I usually keep it with my phone. Hell, I've even left it in my bed because of the recordings I do in order to end the day.

I get anxious whenever I don't have my tape recorder on me. I used to feel that way with my mp3 player, despite the fact that my phone was always more efficent with music, but yeah. I need my tape recorder to *function.*

This is probably unhealthy.

I'm blaming The Magnus Archives.

And myself.

But mostly The Magnus Archives.

Audio Journaling Is Changing How We Heal—and It’s Catching On Fast

The act of pouring your thoughts into a diary is no longer limited to pen and paper. A growing number of people are ditching traditional notebooks and opting for their own voice instead. Audio journaling, where individuals record their feelings and experiences by speaking into a device, is seeing a significant rise among millennials, Gen Z, and even middle-aged professionals navigating burnout and mental fatigue. With emotional well-being becoming a mainstream concern, this shift is both technological and deeply personal.
