Typing into the abyss - need a service (lemmy.world)

Does it exist, some sort of encrypted journal-like app where I can type things which will be forever locked away? In my mind and in a place I can feel confident about, without a doubt.

Pen and paper requires burning afterwards, I don’t think I want to do this.

I know no opsec solution is perfect. I need some sort of outlet. I need some sort of solution.

I was thinking. Maybe, at least, some solution where even though access is non-negotiable, if somebody does get in, I can accept that the entity was already determined enough to end things.

Thanks.

Edit: I should I guess mention the obvious such as encryption and possibly authentication with a hardware security key. Any other features that might be out there I am hoping to hear about.

The weight of being unable to share things with literally anyone is totally fine until for some reason the crushing reality of your life comes crashing down on your consciousness and you start seeking some new form of mental relief like a cockroach looking for shelter in the midst of a nuclear fallout.

Massively offtopic and definitely over reaching, I know, but... from reading this post, as well as journalling, I'd recommend you also consider a counsellor if it's heavy life issues.

Seeing one myself has helped me a hell of a lot... I only wake at 3am due to work stress now, rather than (all the other stuff)

Thanks for your care and personal experience. I’ll say that perhaps one day I can re-examine whether this is something I can reasonably do. It’s nice to hear that it helped you.
