People posting online about their depressing problems. I think you should take this in a more private and undisclosed location with your close online friends rather than spread it with your journals. I mean, what is this? Some sort of psychiatric ward? By the time you're dealing with your shit, it's already over in a day! A journal is probably about talking about interesting events in your life. But moping about your problems is just an excuse to get sympathy heat! All I see are pessimistic rants and people talking about suicide when it's something you should talk about with someone close or outside the internet!

Well, sorry.
But, I tend to post my journals to get help from my friends or because I need to give my friends a life update.
I usually put a warning at the top of my journals to let people know that they're gonna be a depressing life rant so that they can back out of it without getting too annoyed with it..
Moping in the problems however you said it isn't just an excuse to get sympathy heat, I know because I don't post my journals for sympathy. I want my friends to help me, not give me pity/sympathy. I sometimes need ideas on how to cope with my problems or I need to, like I mentioned before, update my friends on my life. It's a lot easier to post a journal so all my friends can see it[[All the ones that actually care, really..]]instead of looking through my friends list and noting  each one of them. My computer is way too slow for all that.
Besides, the deviantART journal is as "private" as some of us can get, with the ability to still talk multiple of our friends at one time.
This is a bit offensive to me, because I do realize I post  bunch of journals about my problems a lot, and I also realize it's annoying to some, which is why I usually try to post a warning at the top, or title it in a way to let people know "Hey, this is gonna have life updates. Don't click if you don't wanna read it.."

Not everything is "for attention" or "to get noticed" because I do have some friends on here who watch me who can help me.
I don't have many people in real life who can actually help me. They say that I just need to talk to them, but it usually always ends in arguments, so the only friends I can trust are the few I KNOW I can trust who are online. Which is why I post the journals.
Not everything is for "sympathy" or "pity" or anything like that. Sometimes people legitimately need help from someone who they don't see every day in real life.

I also agree with SiftStone, by posting about this being annoyed with all the depressing journals, you're basically doing the same thing. Venting your emotions in a journal when you could have easily found a few people to rant to about it..
