First of all, hugs.
Second, if journaling doesn't work for you, that's okay, you can try something else. The trick I learned was to shred all the pages (in the electric paper shredder) I write in before bed, so I feel like it's "gone." If I merely close the journal I would feel like the thoughts are still "there" in my room.
