Hi. so I created this account because I find it hard for me to be open and honest online with my true identity. It's more for myself than anyone because I cant journal like a normal person and it might help me not go crazy typing everything out like this. I am going to be changing various details about my life, so that if by chance, someone I know happens to comes across this, they wouldnt know it was me.
I dont know if it's because I'm ashamed or scared (or both) and thats why I'm hiding my identity, but nonetheless, I'm here. I got the idea from a book called, "Undiscovered Gyrl" by Allison Burnett. They made a movie about it too, its called "Ask Me Anything". Great movie, even greater book. I have a feeling it will be more helpful than the therapy I'm in.
Even if no one is reading this at all..
If anyone is there, feel free to comment, but please, try not to judge.
LOL asking someone not to judge someone online is like asking a lion not to bite.
Anyways, in these entries I will be talking about things like, addiction, sex, mental health, voilence, motherhood, relationships, vanity, dreams, fears, secrets...
So if none of this appeals to you or offends you, get lost

Welcome to DearDiary.Net and don't feel bad for wanting to hide things. This diary is yours, share what you want to, hide that which you don't.
For particularly private stuff, you can mark individual entries as private and these will be hidden to everyone except you even though your main diary is public.
Welcome - if you have any questions or issues please don't hesitate to reach out!
Welcome to Dear Diary. And boy do I think you have a good idea. I find it hard to even write in my analog journal and be perfectly honest! When I want to really vent, I write pages and pages of the really raw stuff and then throw it in the fire. It is SO cathartic ! There's no reason you can't do that digitally, and the entries are always accessible and you can remove them or make them private if they seem over the top. Getting the thoughts and words OUT are the main thing. I hope it helps you.
Thank you I already feel so much better after just getting 2 entries out. Im glad Im not the only one who feels this way!
