Aren’t u worried someone is going to find it and read all your thoughts u wrote down
When I was 18 I read my sisters diary
She wrote something about being so boring and I thought she meant me
One day I told her I read it and she said was about her
I trust my husband 
I keep a journal of all my symptoms, when I am aware of them and have insight.
For years I used to keep journals about my symptoms. I threw them all out. Now, I keep journals of my prayers to G-d. Much better.

I keep journals for a couple of days and then forget. And then restart a few months later and forget again. Self-discipline… 
I do sometimes worry. My mum once cleaned my house and took all the journals and planners while i was in the ward, without asking. I was angry. Later she explained and i understood that the owner needed access to the house and she wanted to project me. She meant well. Still should ve asked. It made me paranoid at the time.
Sometimes i also worry someone is reading my posts on this website and recognizes me. I tell lots of private stuff here.

Yea but the chances of someone recognizing u here are so slim even if u post a selfie.
I once saw a selfie of @Hadeda and then I saw her when I was driving home.
How coincidental is that lol.
But she’s cool and wasn’t worried.

Haha thats such a coincidence! Good that both of you were cool with it.
I know chances are small, but still i worry sometimes. I think text is okay, but I wouldnt dare post a selfie, although i like it if others do. It’s nice to know who you are talking to. One time someone from a datingsite contacted me at LinkedIn and Facebook as well, after i showed no interest, without knowing my full name. He might have used the photo (which was the same) to search me on Google? Or something else? I dont know. 
Thats why i dont dare post a photo here.
I use a locked diary app. A password should be entered to see my diary. No one can see it and I can keep it quite permanently. If I use blogs, I’m afraid that the website might disappear 50 years later. And if I use normal diary, I can’t keep secrets because there are always some who read it.

Yes that’s why I dont write down my thoughts.
I’m just making myself vulnerable to the world

I have often considered keeping a journal but the thought that someone could get it and read my secrets and whatnot made me not do it. Guess i’m paranoid like that. I do write poetry though and that’s kind of like journaling because i always write about what i’m going through or dealing with.
