I'm not gonna lie, I have been procrastinating on this first entry(?) for... a while now. I guess I'm scared I'm going to say the wrong thing and be judged for it, but also, isn't a journal supposed to be for? A judgement-free zone for thoughts? Cause I definitely got a lot of thoughts. Too many, in my opinion.

I guess I should introduce myself. I'm a 21-year old Psychology major in the good ol' Southern USA. I think I'm going to remain anonymous for now, who knows down the line. I have a cat and I love her to and past death. I think she knows she's the current topic of conversation, because she just climbed into my lap and sat on my keyboard. I hope to one day be a counselor, as well as gender therapist, with a focus on Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, etc.. I think my main group I would focus on is teens & young adults to older adults, just because puberty and on is such a confusing time.

I have a plethora of mental disorders as you will learn, should I decide to continue this. Honestly, I'm really bad when it comes to journaling and will forget after a month or so, but maybe it'll stick this time.

As far as why I'm posting such thoughts on the internet, I don't really have a reason other than I don't want others to feel like they're alone in matters that may be similar to mine. I know that we often feel like we are alone in our problems, especially when it pertains to mental health, but in reality, dozens or more people probably feel similar in some way.
