Should I read my entries?

Is it good for you to read through past entries that you know are depressing? I ask because I write in here to get things off my chest and say the things that are really going on in my head, rather than tell those around me who just don’t get it. I write as a way of getting rid of these thoughts… so if I were to look back and read these thoughts surely I would be reminding myself of the hurt or the anger? If my diary were a happy diary I don’t think this question would be asked.
