Anything that I decide to put in Live Journal is public. Now that's not very much, as you can see from my journal. I do, on the other hand keep a paper journal that is almost entirely priviate. I occasionaly share an entry or two with various people. Some times with my mental health case manager, some times with friends. But most of that I keep priviate. Though really most of it's not really that deep or very interesting. It's mostly how my day has gone, what I've done, and things like that. Occasionaly I get into a rant about something that I really don't want anyone to know about. One thing that I have decided though is that when I slip I will let both my case manager, and my outreach worker at mental health know about that. It doesn't happen often, and when it does I almost always find a way to deal with it without getting involved with expensive services like emergency, or even mental health. Still I let them know that it happened, and try to deal with it with them when my next appointment is.

That sort of covers the question. Some people keep all their journal entries on Live Journal, and that seems to work for them. I just can't think of sitting in front of the computer to write journal entries.
