Hello Staff of Psych Forums,

Can you start a new journal for me? I would like to have replies on there as well. I would like to write and express my thoughts. I really love writing.

All set up.

This is my first journal entry. I am just trying to fill space in. I want to collect my thoughts on this paper. I don't know what I want to write. But today was pretty uneventful. About three hours ago, I took a nap. I have school or college tomorrow so I need to get some sleep. I am feeling pretty neutral right now.

I recently decided to start keeping a journal on this site because I enjoy writing. Writing is my form of self expression. It feels good to put my thoughts on an online forum. I am glad to be able to do this. I want to continue writing. Writing makes me feel good. It satisfies me. I think I'll finish for now.

I am in a bit of a rut today. The weather outside is cloudy. It looks like it's going to rain. I feel a combination of feelings, such as neutrality, sadness, anger (not so much right now), stressed, and even a little happy. I thought this would be the appropriate place to post my thoughts. Yesterday, I had a pretty good day. It was a regular Sunday. I was out of the house for a while. I had went to church with a close relative. Then, I remember going to the grocery store to buy some stuff, in so I can have stuff to eat and drink for the week. I checked the time on my phone and that is when the day went downhill for me.

I suffer from a mild case of OCD. My obsessions involve magical thinking, superstitions, and other things. For example, when I walk places, I'll count the number of counts I'll take. Another example is when I do certain things, I have to do it a certain way or else I feel that I'll cause something bad to happen.

So back to the main story, when I checked the time, the day was pretty much ruined. I know I shouldn't let petty and unimportant stuff like that ruin my day, but it did. When I checked the time, it made me angry and upset. That was all I could think about the whole day. Later that same day, I checked the time on my phone. I was upset for the second time.

I'll finish this right here.

I don't know how often I'm going to write in this journal. But I want to keep expressing myself.
