In his mid 20s my father had a nervous breakdown and he tells me kept such a journal. Back then he didn't get much help from professionals so the journal was his own way of dealing with his issues. He tells me that, like you, he wrote hundreds of pages. Personally I don't know what I would write about. I've given it some thought before but very little comes to mind.
