I often used to find that if writing things I wasn't quite ready to fully accept myself.

You might want to try writing the journal in third person (ie. he/she as opposed to I/you)

As stupid as it sounds, i often find it easier to write a 'story' as opposed to a 'diary'

Not sure if that will help ...
