Blogs make it really easy to look back to and see how things compare to previous years. I started my blog in 2006 and every day I look back and see if I wrote something on that day on each of the years.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

I'm in the process of writing a blog about mental health but it's all set to private at the moment because a lot of the posts are only part written.

I finally finished my first post. It's a bit long-winded, sorry!

A mixture of lifestyle, fashion, food and updates on my life and uni/study tips.



Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.

Your blogs are inspiring me to start a public one again. Don't know if I will though.

I think what I've ended up doing before is starting a blog then either running out of ideas (because I do nothing with my life) or worrying that my brother might stumble upon it and know it's me. If I make one this time I will start it using a new log in.

Would you not feel comfortable with people knowing it's you? I sometimes don't have anything to update my blog with, but I just wait until I do. You can go at your own pace.

The only thing I can write about is my own experiences of mental illness and I hide a lot from my brother. I don't mind other people knowing it's my blog just not him because it would hurt him to know some of the things I do and feel. I started a public blog initially to write about my experiences of pseudo psychosis in BPD because I couldn't find any personal accounts online. Usually my posts don't get many views and I think what's the point in it being there but I know that it could benefit someone somehow.

I understand what you mean. There are aspects of my mental health and things I do that I wouldn't want my family to know about.

I have created a blog, PM me if you want the address. All I've written so far is a general introduction. If you comment on anything please don't mention my name or my RYL username. Thanks.

I have a blog, but I don't want it linked to anything else, so PM me if anyone wants to read it.
It's mostly stories/memories from when I was in hospital/being self destructive, so it is triggering in parts.

Blogging is something I want to do, but I still don't know what my topic should be. I started many blogs over the years but never carried on with them because I change interests a lot. I have a tumblr but I would love to start a proper blog where I can write my own posts that don't get "reblogged" and I can get comments under. I'm kind of old school that way. :)

By the way I have deleted my blog, didn't think it would last long! Just don't like the thought of it being public and couldn't commit to posting regularly. Will stick with private blogging I think.
