If you want to send my heart racing with anxiety and unleash a horde of rabid futterbys through my intestinal region, leave me a cheeky inbox/ask/fan mail.

In the spirit of ~doing things that scare you~, to deal with the sick anxiety feeling that directly follows posting anything on the internet, I’ma very quickly slap these up because my unscripted reaction to noticing a toothpaste stain on my Hip Sista Hop 3CR hoodie is excellent and generally I’m a qt blah blah. Then sleep, I will impress my roommate by going to bed before midnight and not fucking up tomorrow ohh yeah!

I have been disciplined by boys/men in my life to not blog about my feelings. Over the years, I lost the capacity to feel and the ability to write.

How Blogging Can Help Teens Suffering From Anxiety

If you want to write your feelings out, do it online. Public journals are even better for teenagers’ mental health than the traditional private pad of paper used to store personal thoughts, according to a new study.

…

This seems counterintuitive. Schools and parents struggle with how to prevent and punish cyberbullies, a topic constantly in the news, and other research accuses Facebook of contributing to depression. But on the blogs in this study, most comments were positive. The authors suggest that the interactive yet anonymous aspect of blogging is beneficial:

[T]he spontaneous and anonymous interpersonal interactions available in cyberspace may alleviate users’ self-perceptions and negative emotions and, consequently, contribute to their ability to cope with difficulties in their offline environment (Kraut et al., 2002). Furthermore, self-exposure, typical in cyberspace in general and in blogging in particular, could serve as an important factor in building social relationships and in coping with loneliness, shyness, social anxiety, and other conditions that inhibit healthy, satisfactory social connections.

And so maybe the semi-personal nature of an anonymous blog (not the constant curation of the perfect Facebook page) attracts the emotional support necessary to pull a teenager out of social anxiety.
