Exposed or Hidden?

I read blogs and follow the events and personal struggles and triumphs of the writers. I am frozen with this blog because there is much to record or process via the act of writing, however there is very little of this content that I would like to make known to a public, any public. Is this a common sensation? How do so many bloggers seem to be able to reveal incredibly private events? Any thoughts?

hi azureone,
I know I have lines I won't cross and everyone has to figure what those are for themselves. You can always keep a private journal where you put your most intimate thoughts and the safer stuff can go here. I do that.

good luck in figuring it out.

i tend to write as if its a personal blog i piss and moan and soemtimes put some posts back into draft when ive said too much. i do write as if im in a conversation with someone and its why i will end up on topics or off on a tangent. i also write feelings about how events made me feel in poetry type of writing, that way im getting it out without revealing the content of what is happening. don't know if this helped, but just write from your heart, whatever it is you need to say, unless theres a lawsuit involved or someone you dont want to read it, i say go for it, because someone out there might be inspired by something you may not consider inspiring. i also write posts and save them to draft and they arent published, so i can get it out of my mind. one day i might let loose all of my posts, which would be scary due to being over 1300 in a year!

I agree it's hard to know what to share. Anonymity helps when it comes to revealing private events. You are bold for being as open as you are, considering your family and friends know about your blog. I admire that.

Everything is fair game over at KW. Remember, it's not art if you're holding back. I like to shoot first and let others ask questions later. One thing I have noticed with my blog is that the comments have become a separate entity. I feel like I'm hosting Match.com. Nice smile, blue. I'll be around.

Hello. Yeah it's always hard to figure the balance out. I used to update my xanga a lot but stopped when I felt I couldn't write what I really wanted to write. It's too personal.

Here is a site I thought you would be interested in: nydepression.com. You could always blog on there too.

Something that almost everyone does if they have problems related to anxiety and panic is to try to uncover their own panic attacks causes. And it's understandable. Panic attacks are truly horrific, and definitely the worst part about having any form of anxiety or panic disorder. http://www.buy-xanax-online-now.com
