I haven't started one on here yet, but have been reading other's. Trying to get an idea of what helps everyone, and what is acceptable to write in them on here. I am wanting to know if anyone knows how to get ahold of others on here to help them since reading one in particular. It was written by Wilderness. Does anyone have any ideas to help?

If you want to get in touch with wilderness then post a comment at the bottom of the journal entry you read. You can click on people at the top of the screen and put wilderness in. Send hugs or pm that way.

you can write anything you want in your journals.

you have 3 options when posting in your journal, you can leave them open to everyone, you lock them so only those on your friends list can see them, or you can lock them so that you are the only one can see them.

Different people write different things. It's a way to get out your thoughts. Some people write poems, others talk about their day, others about their past. It's up to you. Just, if you're putting personal things there, you might want to use the "just friends" selection to limit the people who can see what you've written.

She didn't seem too good, and even though I don't know her, I am worried. I have been that down before, and it is not good to be there.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
