Small venting posts or something idk

I might post short thoughts in some journals just because I worry I may keep bottling up everything I think about. I'm just gonna post these journals for friends only because I'd rather not disrupt people's good moods with my cynical tendencies. I might not even allow comments on some of them because of the nature of the topics I might talk about.

If you're in my friends list now I guess you can consider this a chance to unfriend me if you don't wanna hear my bitching. I won't mind. I don't know if I'll end up using the "friends only" feature for anything else.

Don't worry - venting is good. What's up?

Sorry to get back to you so late... Being open is difficult for me. I've spent too much time keeping people at some distance. I've just been locked in a downward spiral of self suppression and I'm tired.

It's alright, don't worry.

I think we all have our troubles we must go through, and it's never easy. If you want to talk more about it, I'm open to a deeper chat.

everyone needs to vent once in a while....I use to bottle it up and did it for 15 years, now I barely can stop because I held it for so long...

That's the thing. At this point it's hard for me to vent because there's so much jumbling around in my head I feel like it's a chore to try to get my mind clear enough to vent. I always feel like I could've said things better. I'm so self critical and I analyze maybe a little too much.

Well the first step is just getting it written down in general. Vents don't need to make total sense but even still once you write it down, you can organize and make sure the meaning you want gets across.

I've tried this but I usually just end up deciding not to post. I'm so locked into a tendency of biting my tongue.

I've been depressed about a multitude of things so I'd say if talking/writing about it helps then go for it
personally to me I don't think anything is helping anymore and basically I force myself to live because I worry I'll cause someone else to commit suicide because of it

@ knives666

It sucks to hear you've been feeling that way but I actually have a similar feeling. I think about suicide a decent amount but I also think about my entanglements with others. I think it's kind of a bullshit position for people to be stuck in; to be staying alive mainly because other people want you to. I know some people genuinely care when someone they know is feeling suicidal but they're just assuming that suicidal feelings are irrational when I don't think they always are. I don't like the idea of people killing themselves but I don't really buy that every suicidal person is being unreasonable.

Hopefully no one will unfriend you because you want to vent or seek a bit of advice/support now and then. You can always start the post title with VENT: or RANT: or something in case some people want to skip it.

I understand the need to get things out of your system now and then. I sometimes want to do it, but usually I just type it all fast as possible into a text file until I figure out how to express it a bit more organized. (You can even do that first and then start writing the actual post once you've sorted that out.) But don't worry if it just comes out however it does.

Anyway, I hope things are okay for you now. Take care.

Not healthy. Don't hold back. Vent. Don't hide it to friends only. You might be surprised how many people actually sympathize with you.

Eh, I feel like I shouldn't. I already post journals more often than I really want to. I hate the idea of flooding people's notifications with whining. That's all I do and I can do it forever because it never makes me feel much better.

I mean fair point but apposed to flooding journals about any other thing? My inbox is full of all kinds of crap every day. Honestly this kind of journal seems more important than something like "how big should I tell AI to draw this digimon's diaper?".
