Puppy Dog surrounded by custom journals created by Dual Threads

Humorous Journals for Women Who Can’t Afford Real Therapy

Ever feel like journaling could save your sanity, but you still want it to be packed with attitude? I totally get it. Between work, life, and everything in between, you deserve something that meets you at your weird. That’s why Dual Threads’ journals and notebooks are perfect. They’re equal parts snark, comfort, and personal growth - all wrapped in bold covers that feel like a friend who gets you.


1. Journals That Speak Your Mood

With lines like Adulting: 0 Stars, Do Not Recommend” and Overthinking Over‑Caffeinated,” these journals don’t just invite you to write—they encourage you to vent. Whether you're wrestling with feelings or planning your revenge (grocery lists included), these covers tell your truth before you even open the page.


2. It’s Okay to Feel All the Feels

Dealing with everything? The It’s Okay to Feel All the Feels journal throws a gentle lifeline when your brain is spiraling. It’s not forced positivity—just space to reflect, unpack, and maybe scribble something silly during a breakdown. Sometimes what you need isn’t more happy—it’s honesty.


3. Journaling That Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously

When life’s messy, journaling shouldn’t be perfect. Titles like To Do: Cry, Snack, Spiral or Grocery Lists & Revenge Plots are here to remind you that it’s okay to be ridiculous, chaotic, and occasionally dramatic—all while getting stuff done. This is self-care with a sense of humor.


4. Finding the Right Journal for You

Not every journal fits every type of brain. Let’s match you up:

  • Perpetually Tired? Try “Adulting: 0 Stars…” — because who isn’t exhausted?
  • Bookish Mood? “Overthinking Over‑Caffeinated” doubles as your brain punchline.
  • Feeling All Over? “It’s Okay to Feel All the Feels” is like a hug on paper.
  • Need a Daily Laugh? “To Do: Cry, Snack, Spiral” brings relatability to your to-dos.

Each one meets a different side of you. And yep, you can collect them—one self-care episode at a time.


5. Pair It With… Everything

These journals shine solo. But you can double the vibe by pairing with other goodies:

  1. A witty graphic tee from the Graphic Tees collection.
  2. A cheeky tumbler from the Drinkware collection for fuel during emotional brain dumps.

Cue the “I got this…maybe” energy in style.


6. How to Use Your Journal (With Zero Pressure)

  • Write one sentence a day. No rules.
  • Let the prompts flow—if you’re angry at your coworker, scribble it. If you’re loving your playlist, note it.
  • Sketch, doodle, or rant—this is your space.
  • Revisit past entries. You might laugh, cry, or thank yourself later.

Real talk: this isn’t homework. It’s your therapy-sorta-journal.


7. Real Feedback from Real People

These notebooks have resonated hard:

“This journal is my soapbox and my safe place.”
“I actually laugh when I write—therapy without the bill.”

And that’s what counts: people who feel seen, understood, and less alone.


TL;DR – Journals That Get You

You deserve a notebook that’s built for your mess, your mood swings, and your coffee-fueled nights. One that says what you’re thinking and lets you unload without judgment. Dual Threads’ collection is your blank-page BFF—ready when you are.
