hmm Jony, I hadn't read yours, let me do it now :)
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
And since mine is there somewhere in the top viewed i feel sort of like i'd have to add to this one though as of late my crappy state doesn't allow for too much chitter chatter here.
I guess when you are feeling as shyte as i do and there are million twillion things swirling in your mind it's brilliant to type it all out and get it out of your system. I find it sooooo much easier to write in great detail how i feel here knowing people i don't know read it THAN tell someone face to face in real. I find it harder to speak about the depth of my feelings with people i know than those i don't.
And plus, if i do end up needing psych diagnosis lol i guess a journal is a good tracker of what you've felt and can help in identofying the depressive issues.
And i guess you are right...you see a total different side to a person in their journal. It's raw emotion...straight from the heart ...mine is anyway.
Chalo, the days coming closer when i have more cheerful stuff to write about ..can't wait.
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
Disco, it's very good you're so in touch with your feelings. Writing a journal really helps, you're right. I've been told that sometimes when you're feeling like crap, write everything down, but throw away the paper ie don't read what you've written. Helps get rid of negative feelings.
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
^^ agree, my english teacher used to hand our grades back n have us write for 10 minutes straight what we thought of the grade n etc without stoppin to think about punctuation spelling, dont think, just write.. he would collect it n not give it back.. well he did at the end of the term.... he told us to do that everytime sumthin was buggin but he was all for coming back and readin it later, accordin to him, u see urself grow up.
it helps me.
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
I had no intention of starting a journal till one day I just started writing and found a solace in uploading my thoughts. It helps. My journal is raw and intimate of who I am and I am not afraid of writing what I feel like. I have thought bout making it private a few times and I have made it private twice and then got bombarded by requests from people to become my journal buddies. Too much work for me, I let it stay public.
If people find it offensive then thats there problem, I do find it flattering that people take time out to read my journal.
What I find comforting is that when I read other people's journals I realize that everybody here is the same. We all live this life and we all go thru the same experiences. Being in love, being sad, being angry what is so embarassing bout reading it?
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
I agree with the therapeutic effects of the Journal. I NEVER go back and read my entries from before - the thought alone makes me cringe. I dont know how some people put up with reading it, really.
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
…but there are certain journals that you just can’t freaking read.
What’s up with that? 
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
You have to PM them and ask for permission to see them. Duh.
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
I still miss the journal in which people used to talk to kids. That was one of the few I ever read here. I got banned. Life is unfair. 
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
someone read my journal and post comments plz 
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
truck driver...which journal are you talking about?and who were you before you got banned?
sara...i read your journal...and very pretty it is too.
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
LD- I'm a pretty harmless fellow. I did NOT get banned. Neither was I ANY trouble to ANYONE here. I guess many people around here recognize me. Sometimes I act on whims. I was talking about some journal that was made private so I couldn't access it anymore. That's it. I have been here only a few months and I would be gone soon. :)
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
No dont go...I refuse to let you go
I enjoy reading your posts and Im sure many others here feel the same
For that reason I will demand that you stay...i insist that you do!
who do they recognise you as?
Re: Journals - my shocking discovery!
Awww thank you LD 
. I know I’m not that interesting. That’s why I’ve become truckdriver. Nobody takes truckdriver seriously and I don’t want to be taken seriously right now. 
Now this thread is about journals. So we must talk about journals or catty would decapitate you.
