I don't think anyone around me knows, or if they do know, really cares about how I feel, and I hate dramatics. I don't care to interrupt other peoples' busy lives with my whining. A lot of people around me both online and in real life have proven repeatedly that they don't really try to 'get' what I'm talking about when I try to get my feelings out there. I have a therapist, but her helpfulness very much depends on how she's feeling that day and I frequently leave feeling worse than I did when I showed up. I also don't tell authority figures everything, because that has in the past gotten me in trouble. I guess if I were asked I'd say I feel alone, but more than anything I like being able to have somewhere to put my thoughts. I enjoy speculating on what would happen if I one day decided to make them all public, and while I don't think I would ever commit suicide, if I did one day, or if I were terminally ill and knew I would die soon or somthing, I'd probably do that before I did so.

Does anyone else do this? I don't want to ask anyone I have as a friend or anything in case they try to see what I've written.

    Huh, never thought of that. But I prefer to keep a journal. I write everything that happens, everything I'm thinking and feeling, and no one has to see it.

    I'm too scared to write stuff in the only me thing because I'm scared people can read it somehow or the privacy thing will change and everyone will read it noooooo

    I write things into Word documents on my computer. Feels more secure. That being said, there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. It is very healthy to release your emotions in words. I find it helps me a lot to write my thoughts down, even though I don't plan on ever reading them or anyone else. Also I would consider getting a new therapist or just stop all together. I have found they never help me with my issues anyway.

    Be careful with that because fb changes it's privacy settings without notice whenever it wants.. On a side note, you do know everything ever posted on the net will be there for alll eternity and can be traced to you right :o o.o
