What is psychological term used to describe a person who compulsively writes down their thoughts?

I wonder if hypergraphia is sometimes misdiagnosed... Yes, if you feel compelled constantly to write, like an overwhelming itch and it's a compulsion to just get things down on paper, then it probably is hypergraphia. But, what about people who are compelled to process by writing, people for whom writing helps organize their thoughts into a more rational order. As far as I know there's no "diagnosis" for someone who externally processes by babbling like a brook all the time, and I don't think there's anything wrong with processing via the symbolic (drawing, writing, even flow charts and/or mathematical modelling.) Rational thinking and symbolic processing are signs of higher intelligence, and adolescence is the time when there's so much going on emotionally and subconsciously that you'd need to be processing more and more just to get through it all.

I myself "process" in all of those ways, sometimes I doodle and draw what I'm feeling, sometimes I write (journalling, poetry, essays, creative writing, etc.), I talk it out from time to time, I create flow charts and graphs and even occasionally have been known to come up with a mathematical model when I'm trying to make a decision. Perhaps your writing was your way of "processing."

So my question is, were you compelled to try to make sense of your emotions and subconscious through writing (kind of being your own therapist) or were you manifesting a form of OCD known as hypergraphia? I believe there's a difference. But then what do I know, I'm not a trained therapist, and my IQ is only borderline brilliant, not mensa level, lol.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Probably my childs mom/father. I for my part hate the time period youngster daddy/mama. It sounds so immature to me. Like they have not grown up sufficient to consult the dad or mum via their identify or for what they fairly are, the childs different dad or mum. But that is simply my opinion.
