I do use linux. Will try jrnl out.

I can relate so much to writing something thinking how others will perceive it and it never helped much.

I have tried a few times to journal when I want to let things out of my system… but haven’t found it much helpful in reducing the miserable feeling. Maybe if I am consistent it will change things.

I have always found it difficult journaling. Whenever I tried to journal my pain it never became lighter. I have also been scared of any of my writing being accessible to anyone, i like your idea and will try it.
