Writing About Bipolar Disorder
Jil from Wild Abandon, a bipolar blog, has an interesting post about how writing about bipolar disorder helps her. She says:
Do I feel more upbeat after I write? Sometimes. I think it totally depends on whats going on in my head. Usually I am helped by the people that visit here. The folks that comment really help me with decisions, help me cope, help me see things in a different way. That’s why I suggest blogging if youre bipolar. It takes a lot of guts for a lot of people to put themselves out there, but I think its worth it. It has been to me anyway.
If you want to share your own bipolar experiences you can start a blog of your own on HealthDiaries.com or contribute to this group blog.

Hi, I'm really interested in this topic because I'm working on a project involving mental illness and personal feelings of the sufferers and the how we can help those that are homeless. I'm also making a blog relating to similar topics at www.mentallyillhomelessnessinla.blogspot.com
any feedback would be great! (p.s. its still unfinished with many unrelated things)
thanks :)
Thank you for posting. I work with alot of people who have mental illness, and they, and their families appreciate people's openess, as support for their own situation. I hope to b a clinical psychologist for people with mental illnesses and their families. I am currently doing research on how to improve the quality of life for people like yours. I would love to have feedback from you -- possibly ask you some questions. Please e-mail me! thanks,
I, too, am bipolar and I recently started a blog. It helps me out a lot to be to express myself even though I'm not sure anyone is reading it. But there are times I don't feel that my writing makes sense. I hope it does but it still helps me to get out.
I have been living with BP for over 5 years now but have had a history of mental illness for almost ten years now. Over the years it has been a process to find the right mix of meds that would help me. It has been a roller coaster. I tend to suffer from mania more than depressive and I have caused a lot of damage to my close knit family. If I can give anyone any advice it is that if you can get help early into this illness the better. You could avoid so many painful things that are capable of happening when your in a full blown manic episode this could make all the difference in the world. As far as having peace of mind when you look back at things in retrospect
Well I must appreciate for your interest and courage.Its interesting to hear that viewers of your blog help you. I wish you to overcome the barriers.
Thank you...

Thanks for wanting to write, or thinking about it anyway. However, if your question raises an issue that many people wonder or worry about, you can help them by asking. Help each other by sharing experiences and ranking medical content in order to make health information personal, organized and accessible to everyone here,
Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania.

hi.
writing about bipolar helps me a lot. it's nice to read other people's writing. makes me feel much less lonely... not that i don't have understanding friends and family, just i don't know anyone who shares my diagnosis.
when i lost my job, it was a real surprise. i remember getting on the train, totally anxious.
and posting about it helped more than ativan. but i still popped an ativan.

Thanks for sharing that with everyone. I personally do not have BP, but my mother was and I took care of her for many years until she died. I wish, even as a family member that I had had a sounding board/blog to discuss and get information and encouragement. You are lucky that the mental illness world is a much friendlier place now.
