IF YOU ARE ONE OF MY PARENTS AND HAVE FOUND THIS SITE, PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS BLOG IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND HELPS ME A LOT, AND I REALLY NEED YOU TO RESPECT MY PRIVACY AND STAY AWAY FROM IT.

Blog going invite only

I need to blog. I am finding it hard not having it as an outlet and I miss it. But right now I can't do it in public in the way I always have done, as I am too paranoid about what people are thinking of me etc, so I have made the decision to make it invitation only. I am kind of upset about this, as to me it takes away one of the core things I like about blogging - that absolutely anyone can stumble onto your blog and start reading, and I have grown close to several people through this blog, who I obviously wouldn't know at all if my blog had always been private. But for the time being that is the plan, and hopefully at some point in the future I will go back to open blogging. If you would like to continue to read then please either send me a DM on Twitter, a message on Facebook, or an email, with the email address you want me to send the invitation to. Please do not ask for an invitation if you think I am attention seeking/crying wolf/give BPD a bad name, or any of the other things I have been accused of lately - I can't think why you would be reading my blog in the first place if you feel like that, but clearly people do. Thanks.

  1. I'm glad you made this decision. Do not feel obliged to invite anybody you don't trust.

  2. I would love to have an invite if you feel comfortable, Bip. I'm so glad you've decided to keep going, even if it's not in a public way.

    I think you have my email address, but if not send me a message on FB/Twitter/whatever and I'll send it to you.

  3. Hi, I don't tweet or facebook but would love an invite - even though I don't comment much, as a person struggling with depression myself, I empathise with your experiences even if I'm rubbish at thinking what to say. I'm emailable at mollimog at gmail dot com. But will not be offended if you aren't comfortable inviting an occasional commenter!

  4. Pandora - I have a couple of email addresses for you, does it matter which I send it to? If so then message me the right one.

    Jane, that is fine, I will add you. Don't worry about not having anything to say. It is the people who only have upsetting things to say that are the problem.

  6. It's so sad you have to do this because of the small mindedness of some people.

  7. I'm very sorry it's got to this. I have no idea why people would be so horrid. Your blog has helped and encouraged many. Mental health and distressing or unusual feelings are rarely discussed openly, blogging gives that ability to people, a sense of understanding, support and being able to see you are not so different from others after all. It is so upsetting that you have been hounded out by a cowardly bully. I would like an invite but, as I am new-ish to the community, I can perfectly understand you keeping it to close friends. Either way, I hope so much that you feel better soon and can blog openly again too. Take care.

  15. I understand - I'm so sorry you were attacked by those morons.
    I hated going private too (in my case people from my ex-work had found my blog).
    I would love an invite of course, if you feel comfortable - think you have my e-mail but give me a yell if not.
    Take care of yourself. The morons are in the wrong, not you. xxx

  18. I know I haven't been following that long, you don't know me well and I have only commented a couple of time but would love to continue reading your blog if you are comfortable with it as I have enjoyed reading so far and would love to get to know you better.
    My email is charminginsanity@gmail.com

  19. Would like an invite if you are ok with it. I know I don't know you well or anything so I understand if you don't want to.

    It disgusts me to think of how horrible some people can be, especially without even knowing you. You should be able to write about anything you want on your own blog! I don't understand why these people would continue to read when they are obviously against anything you have to say, they obviously just enjoy upsetting people and causing trouble.

    Anyway Ill send my email as a DM on twitter, if you do fancy dropping me an invite. Dont worry if ya dont want to.

    Take care
