Blogs: A Resource for You
Sunday April 23, 2006
Blogging, maintaining an online journal, has become quite a trend across the internet. This tool has added a wealth of information to the literature available on any topic you can imagine and, of course, bipolar disorder is no exception. We have now started gathering these to maintain a blog roll. Found below are three recommended blogs. Do you have a favorite blog or write one of your own? If so, please share! You can provide information in the comments to this entry.

Great idea. I can’t get the links to work though.

ive been an avid blogger for a few months and i think my manic self just seeps through it
ive often addressed issues linked to my disorder
more often it’s an attempt to catch those words which fly so fast, keep them from bouncing off the kitchen walls and in some miraculous way into the pc
writing a blog has made me feel so much less frustrated as one of the factors which depressed me about taking lithium was the fact my creativity just seemed to dry up. this is not so and by writing every day it’s a whole new ricochet
My recent favorite is http://www.furiousseasons.com
OK, am I the only one who doesn’t know how to start a blob or journal? Do I even start one on my own, or just add on to another blogger. Help?
Alright everyone, forget my last comment. In bold letters there is actually a box that says BLOGGING, HOW TO…gee it helps to look over an entire page. I’ll be blogging soon.
Moody blogs are the most engaging reads. Furious Seasons is one of my favorites, too. I also love The Trouble with Spikol at http://trouble.philadelphiaweekly.com/ . She’s another great journalist with bipolar disorder.
Journalist John McManamy does a terrific blog at http://www.mcmanweb.com/blog.htm
I find cool new bipolar bogs regularly at Jane Loves Tarzan at http://janelovestarzan.com/
Cheers,

I would use your help people. I’m bipolar. My spouse is 45 and I’m 53. It really bugs me that it likes to get on myspace.com and comment to all the young, pretty girls (I’ve seen the pictures) and I look in the mirror and I’m 53 and showing it. It’s caused alot of conflict. Any ideas?!

This is my writing blog — I also keep a private blog that only a few people know about. I’ve journaled since I was about eleven, and I guess now it’s just taken that technological step to being online.
This is my blog, I have quite a few bipolar rants on it. Feel free to add/visit!
I’ve written my blog since August of 2004. I was originally diagnosed with bipolar disorder (then called Manic Depression) in 1981. My website I’ve had since 1995 is Polar Paul’s Bipolar Life which talks about my experiences with the mental health system, my poetry, and bipolar humor.
My blog is my day to day dealings with life as effected by bipolar symptoms. I’m 44 now and focusing on writing poetry and volunteer work with the eventual goal of trying to return to work.
My blog started life as just a travel journal but is now motivating people to not lead a normal career life but to seek something different.
I don’t know how to setup a blog and havn’t spent much time trying to learn I am so busy with email and my now current work from home job I do good to get that done. I stay up late and get up early except the past 2 days while I have been down with a Sinus Infection,I do have a small journal that I try to keep up with that I downloaded from the makers of Seroquel and I take that in with me when I go to my PDOC. I would like to learn how eventually keep a Blog for my own thoughts and happenings of the day. Gary M.
Thanks for the link. David Oliver a guy who started bipolar central asked me to blog about parenting a child who sufferes with bipolar disorder. It was mostly started as a support and education blogg. Everyday is a learning experiance and I feel each day I grow as a parent and that I am better equipted to him myself more than I ever have been able to.
Diagnosed bipolar 15 years ago – this is my blog: http://360.yahoo.com/dialer2006
I blog as a creative exercise for myself but if it resonates with someone else, all the better. Stop by if you’d like.
I have just started a blogg, I was diagnosed with bipolar last year and I am now getting my life back on track.

I have a blog at A Beautiful Madness – Livinging with Bipolar Disorder that I would like to add to the blogroll
