I started a blog a year ago or so. It really helps to get the thoughts out. I can track my mood this way, too. My blog is only about bipolar. That is, I don't post unless that day has something to do with bipolar. I don't just post that I went to the grocery store, unless I was manic there or the fruit started talking to me.
 Anybody else?

I have tried a couple times to start one that's about me. I just can't seem to do it for some reason. But, I've started using the journal part of my mood tracker more. Just a brief "this is how today went," even if it's only a setance.

I actually don't only post in terms of "today..." I post about bipolar in general if I think of something happening, like hallucinations. Its just more effective if i post while its actually happening.
Just journalllng like you're doing I could never get into like my old T wanted me to. Never could fill a chart out no siree. This is the only way that works for me.

I don't know why I can make posts here but I can't write it down into a blog. I just feel.... exposed or something. It's weird, I know.
 The journal is private. I have trouble with it but I am trying.

My blog is pretty private. Only a handful of people really read it. I'd like more people to read it! Maybe that's the safety in posting there- not many people read it. Then again, I'd like for it to be published one day so regular people can see MY version of what bipolar is like. There are so many clinical books out there there even I can't read. Dull. Boring. Ugh. Not that there aren't a few first-person books out there that are very good. I just want to be one of them.

I've always had a mental block about talking about things and asking for help. Well, not always. It's gotten worse over the years. Because, you know, you tell people what's wrong or what's up and you get shot down. Over and over. So, I think that has something to do with it. I also can't write fiction stories in first person very easily. 3rd person. I also had huge issues with my identity as a child, due to bullying. I legally changed my name at 18 it was so bad.
Even here, I can answer posts and talk about myself okay. But, to ask a question, sometimes it takes me 3-4 days to get up the nerve to make a post when I need help. I will start and delete the same post over and over. So, when I make a post it's a big deal usually, and I've probably been stewing on it for a while. It takes a great effort for me.

I have a Facebook pagè about bipolar disorder. I don't actually blog instead I post helpful articles that can help others with bipolar. I've tried blogging but I can't stick to it. I have a hard time with long term follow through.

Some months I post 3 times ad some I post every day or every other day. It just depends. I have had lots of depression the last six weeks so that's part of it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
