   When I feel like you are describing, I write an email, but never send it. Whether it’s just to get it out of my head, maybe not directed at a certain someone, or if I am pissed at someone I write to them. Yet, when done, I do not hit the Send button. It helps me bunches. Even sorting it out to type it sensibly helps get my issue into focus. Plus, I hate having to explain the history of something to a person (or when it’s in your blog so it needs to make sense). I get frustrated by too much explaining. Blech. Through osmosis, all should know what I mean and realize I am totally right in my opinions… right… dream on, dream on…

   I always find that a problem- even though I try to keep my blog fairly anonymous, there are definitely people that read it that know me, and certain things I don’t want certain people reading. It’s hard to find that balance…

   Having an anonymous blog is quite a nice luxury to have, especially when you need to get some things off your chest. I feel that there’s only a few things that I would censor myself from saying on my blog, but they’re what I would consider ‘not to be shared’ in real life anyway.

   Either way, I hope your day improves. Fingers and eyes crossed for ya!

   anon blog….

   it’s hard when there are things you want to write (like sex things for me, but my mom reads my blog… hello? gross.) and sometimes I wish no one knew about it.

   I feel you on that one, not being about to say things.

   Maybe just make the list. Publishing it doesn’t necessarily have to be step two. Even if you’re changing, trying to live differently, you can still have things close to you.

   I’ve thought about that, and I think the reason a blog works at all, is because we are then telling SOMEONE about our thoughts, as opposed to just ourselves. When we spill it, it is cathartic, and then it allows us to write it out, and think perhaps then even if no one responds, on what possible answers might be from them.

   Talking to someone is what the whole blog thing is about. We are here if you want to, but yes, there is a price to openness. Not rejection, but, vulnerability. Just by what you have already said and divulged here, just by what you have said you are going through, and admitted to doing to deal with and cover it up? We already know in part–we just wait for the rest, if you want to tell us. Already there is a vulnerability and exposure, just from you being here and talking. How much more so is really damaging, or simply Honest?

   Sometimes you can just type stuff up and then save it or whatever. I blog about all kinds of crap but I also watch how I talk about it to keep myself out of trouble.

    Anon. blogs are the best. I only wish I was productive enough to keep one.

    I vote for the anonymous blog…it worked out well for me. I’ve just stopped mine for certain reasons that you know of, but for spilling, it’s good times. There are people that understand, you know.

    I hope you’re feeling better soon. Don’t feel guilty about not posting, if you’re not up to it! I’m to the point where I can only do to 2 or 3 times per week or else I start feeling like it’s a chore like doing the dishes instead of an outlet.

    Maybe you can take a knife and slice through said problems instead. Or burn the knotted rope? (can you tell I’m grumpy and in the mood for destruction today? :-) )

    All the time I think of starting an anonymous blog. I try really hard to write what I want, but just feel like sometimes I can’t just in case. I hear you on this!

    ‘Tis the season, it seems. I think it has something to do with the changing seasons. This, too, will pass.

    I’ve been dreamin’ dreams myself…very unnerving.

    Sometimes it is hard to not be able to come here and spill everything when I know there are people reading that don’t want to hear what I would say or, frankly, those I do not want privy to my inner workings.

    *hugs*

    I hear ya loud and clear. And I toy with the idea of an anonymous blog at least weekly.

    I was once told that when you’ve suffered any form of psychological trauma you won’t fully get to the trauma part of it until you know that it can’t cause you more harm. Especially once you’ve buried it. It’s a way the mind protects itself from further damage. I was also once told that part of the healing process is a need for validation. So while an anon blog may help you flesh out your thoughts, and what truly is bothering you… I think your best bet is to purge to someone that is closest to you. You seem like you have a ton of close friends.

    You actually seem more popular than a tic-tac at an ass kissing convention.

    Maybe you should take a break. Exercise a demon or two. Even if their small ones. The web, the blog, your readers, aren’t going anywhere Sizzle. Do something for you! Take care.

    Thank God I’m not the only one feeling this way at the moment. I tried talking to my sister this morning but I just can’t find the words to get out what’s wrong. How can you say “everything” when that isn’t quite right, and without it sounding melodramatic? My stomach’s been in a knot for about a week now and I can’t find a way to sort through what’s bothering me.

    I hope you feel better soon. Accepting you’re different to others and being comfortable with that fact is not an easy task.
