It needs to be stated immediately that this is not a casual journal. It has been created to record severe anxiety, its sister disorder depression, and the inevitable products of such issues. These "issues" can range from simply a bad day to self-mutilation (this can be either physical or mental).
It is not light-hearted nor should it be treated as such. The issues dealt with are real, and, unfortunately, not a sick fantasy.
This journal is Friends Only. The reasoning behind this is I don't want the recordings to be something for public ridicule, but I also have no qualms about those who are genuinely interested or those who need that simple fact that they aren't alone in handling potentially self-destructive issues. With it being Friends Only it is my hope that I can manage this.
A detailed listing of what you might find here includes: recordings of anixety/depression, recordings of destructive habits derived from anxiety/depression, links to articles, excerpts from literature, and possibly recordings of creative bouts brought about by anxiety/depression.
Definitions:
Anxiety disorder is a blanket term covering several different forms of abnormal, pathological anxiety, fears, phobias and nervous conditions that may come on suddenly or gradually over a period of several years, and may impair or prevent the pursuing of normal daily routines.
Clinical depression is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living.
Self-injury (SI) or Self-harm (SH) is deliberate injury inflicted by a person upon his or her own body. These acts may be aimed at relieving otherwise unbearable emotions, sensations of unreality and numbness.
((If what you wanted was my casual journal, that would be undead_sadist.))
