I believe there are times to think things through and there are times to vomit onto the page and journaling could offer both things depending on how you feel at a particularly time. Nevertheless, simply writing down your feelings or worries doesn’t make everything end but it is therapeutic to validate your feelings. It stops you from running away from your thoughts or pretending like they didn’t exist because some things aren’t meant to be shared with anybody else, they’re just meant to be understood, for ourselves.
