Keeping a journal I can go back and reread is both a blessing and a curse; I was pretty depressed through most of 2017, apparently.

journals are where you put your fears and disappointments and anxieties, so they no longer live in your head

I had a similar experience where I read how I was having the same problem over and over again.

@mandaris I definitely see recurring themes (to be charitable) and damaging loops I find myself stuck in repeatedly (to be less so).
