Is it natural to go through boughts of depression even when you think it's all over?

I just had to write that down. Cause this hurts... it hurts so much... but I thought I'd worked past all this shit. I thought I'd learnt to accept OCD and what it does to me. I wonder whether it's real depression or me just remembering the past.

Sometimes parents help so, so, so much. Sometimes they just don't. This time it's the latter.

On a different note: Happy Australia Day!

Yes, this journal DOES still exist!

Ergh, this is horrible! The way I treat my LJ. Like it's a lump of shit.
When I got this I knew I'd have absolutely no success in updating it - at all. See how right I was?

Things haven't been going the greatest lately. I've had trouble with my head shaking problem, mainly. It came on after I found out that one of my good friends had died. It's pretty depressing really... drove me into this hole.

I'm hoping that a bit of help (which I've had of late) will continue to turn out in a positive way. So far, I've only moved ahead from it, which helps a lot.

I'm right back into the school year now. So much work on my back... it's stressful. Today's off though.

I've got a swag of homework to do, so I'd best be off.

Fingers crossed that I find SOME reason to write in this again soon!

Bored!

As usual, I don't have a lot to say!!
I've just come back from a week long holiday on the South coast in Australia and it was such a nice break! Christmas is just around the corner - I can't believe it! Santa is coming this year - YAY!
For everyone around... MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :-)

Can anyone help?

2004-11-28T08:01:18Z

I suck, normally computers aren't that bad but I've been going through making my journal a bit more than a white page on the computer and can't work out a few things.
1. How do I change the font? I have this thing against times new roman... nothing huge just would prefer something else. Can anyone tell me how to change it?
2. In an entry, how do I link to another person's journal? Like if I'm acknowledging them for something how do I change it to a link?
Thanks for any help...

I'm really really annoyed. I filled out one of those long surveys and then Mum came upstairs. I didn't want her to see it (nor do I want her to know I've got one of these things) so I minimised the window. She then asked me to see something on the computer so I had to give it away for five minutes, meaning that I lost the whole survey thing. It had taken me awhile!!
Anyway, Ill re-do one soon... maybe even now, It wont be nearly as long though. Humph, disapointing!

Hello

2004-11-14T00:13:20Z

Hi, My name is Katie.

I'm new to the Journal. I've added an account but don't know how much I'll use it.
I'll do a facts page soon but this is a simple hello!

Love Katie xoxo
