    Hi all
    Not a big internet person , fb texts calls thats it but after a fairly traumatic 18 months ive realised writing may be what helps me , im not a talker really , so psychologist therapist etc wasnt for me , it actually really annoyed me , so repetative, and i couldnt be fully honest with them ,bottling stuff up is what caused alot of damage but i was thinking a blog might be an idea , no clue how to go about it but ill try , just wanna be anonymous , thx in advance

    If you use blogger you can write private blogs that nobody can see or you can share with people you give access to. I have two of these, one I started as my marriage began to fall apart, to take note of incidents in case things turned nasty. The other was about a difficult situation. Writing these really helped me.

    It's an app or website, Google owns it. It's really simple to use and you can add pictures or videos or music or YouTube to it. Very therapeutic.

    Yes. Just set up a Google account not using your own name. And as noted set the blot to private too

    It depends on what you mean by anonymous. If you just want to use a different name or false name, that is easily done.

    If you want something that would be anonymous to the Irish courts or a Garda investigation, that's a very different question.

    I'm sure if you set up a new email address it would be fine and a whois guard

    It depends on the platform you want you use. On telegram for example you can be 100% anonymous.

    A similar question please.

    I want to start a second weblog but that the two be not connectable. On my profile page one I tried setting up appears listed.

    I would prefer to stay with blogger as I am technically inept and know the format or is there a similar free blogger? Which would be better. I don't want a second email address.

    Thank you
