I’m pretty sure I’m the worst blogger on the face of the planet. My apologies for falling off the face of the Earth this past month. If I thought summer couldn’t get any worse before I took my accidental hiatus, let’s just say it’s safe to say how wrong I was. Honestly, that’s why I try not to say that things couldn’t get any worse, because usually they can and they do. At least in my life they do.
I’ve started journaling, which I had looked down on for the longest time because I was never in a place where I could journal and really keep up. I even bought one of those 5 year, 1 question a day journals and forgot to do it/keep up with it so I would do like an entire month in one sitting, which is totally not the point.
The journal has not been a replacement of the blog, but I have discovered that handwriting for me is a lot easier than typing, which is why I have been more productive about the journal and keeping up with it. But then I started thinking about the blog and the journal and why they couldn’t be one in the same (minus the names and any identity revealing things…).
That being said, I’ve decided to share some of my journal entries with my blog (all like three readers…). Over the next few days/weeks, I’ll be typing (and roughly dating) some of my entries to both continue to process what’s been going on and to be completely honest and open with the blog. The point of me starting this blog was to shine a light into mental health and depression – all sides of it – the good, the bad, the ugly, the really ugly, and as bad as it gets. I haven’t been doing that lately, which means that I’ve been failing in my mission on the blog.
Speaking of the blog, does anyone out there know how to market an anonymous blog? I suppose I could start a Facebook page, but how would I do that without revealing my identity? If anyone had a tip, that would be super helpful. Feel free to comment it on this post, email me at depressiondiaries0@gmail.com, or shoot me a message/comment on Instagram @depressiondiaries0
But, until my journal entries, here’s a small list of topics covered in my journal/things I’ve been up to…
- Got (and lost) a job that I really liked. Didn’t take that so well.
- I think I got kicked out of my house. Still figuring that one out.
- Constant fighting and unpleasantness at home, which is, of course, all my fault.
- Friend fights.
- Low mood.
- Medication change.
- Boy troubles/happenings.
- Visit to a psychic. Super freaky and I think I’m a believer/follower now.
- Eating struggles.
