I've decided that is is imperative to start journaling immediately. I want to do it online instead of writing just because it's easier and faster. I need my journal to be completely private from anyone else. I would not want anyone to be able to read it unless I granted permission. It also must be FREE, my financial situation dictates that. What I'm asking for are suggestions of sites that will allow me to vent my feelings in a private matter with no cost. Smilie options would be a great feature to help me express all the craziness in my head. Although I NEED my journaling to be totally private, I would also like the site I use to have the option to read other people's journals that are not private.

So, if anyone can please suggest sites where I may be able to do this. I desperately need an outlet.

I also apologize for not being in a position that I can offer support to others at this time. I hope y'all can understand and forgive me.

I need to get this started right away to stop bottling up all these pent up emotions that are screaming to get out. I need to find some inner peace and I'm hoping that journaling will help me to deal with all the chaos and craziness that has taken over my mind.

Thanks in advance, I now go back to my self-induced hiatus. Sorry for the interruption.
