Special Thanks to LadyShadow. Everyone should read her blog. It's great.
Aww thank you so much Leia78, I absolutely love your blog too! You're the one who came up with the idea for this thread, so right ahead and pat yourself on the back! I am just so grateful that the wonderful moderator and friend, Notz, that I reached out to went out of her way to bring this idea to her Community Support Team and DocJohn to make this a "Sticky" for us.

It truly is a great way to get all our PsychCentral friends who have blogs extra exposure for sure!!

Oh, I'm just seeing this now! I was just Googling blogs last night. I'm starting mine, just posted my first chronic illness post today, but I've a private account. Can I ask if anyone is interested could you message me privately? Oh, and it's a WordPress blog, so you'd need to have a WP account. I might make it public one day, but I'm still a little new to all of this and like keeping to myself or to folks I have interacted with at the moment. I'll follow the ones I can on here though as a start. Nice thread idea!

So I couldn't follow the bird one, the poetry one, or life and dreams. It's probably just a glitch of my device, but the other WP blogs I followed and the blogspot one is bookmarked and I'll try the others again. Again, message me if you're interested in swapping. Thanks!

Hey there! I am not sure why you can't follow my blog. I paid to have my own domain, meaning I own my site and its not associated with Wordpress. It seems strange to me.

But anyway, post your blog link here if you like so you can share it with everyone, or if you want you can PM with it. I am so glad you are blogging and writing! It's such a therapeutic outlet!!

Ladyshadow, I wonder if that's why I can't follow certain blogs (the independent domain). I mean, I can bookmark them, but they aren't going in my reader for some reason. I'll give it one more try on the desktop next time.

Maybe you folks could add me first. I'll share my username. It's shrimpandbeans
Maybe you folks can try adding me as a viewer from your end. I'd still rather give my blog in PM though, just so I know who's interested...just while I still have it in private mode. Thanks!

Ok, I added a few more tonight. These are great! Mine is such a baby blog. I haven't even filled out my about page yet (Its not going to be personally detailed, but I'll try to make it fun). I'm also having some problem with the like button. (It doesn't seem to work for me anymore. ) so I'll try to comment when I can, but do realize that I don't always get a lot of time to spend on this site(this week has been an exception). And I'm also trying to appeal to a broader audience, so it's not heavily about health, but I will need that outlet too. Right now, besides health, my main other focus is writing and writing camp. My next post will be about the pre camp project I'm working on. Considering sharing the excerpt, but not certain yet.

The "mental health" category is where all of those types are. There are a lot of them. I don't often write journal-type entries. Occasionally. Most of my mental health-related posts, which i myself write, include articles, reflections, based on true life stories, and narrative poems. Today (tues, feb 20) i wrote two posts. My latest is about my sweet but challenging parrot. The one before is more a reflection about mental health/illness on the theme of "constants".
type 1 all the way

Looks great! Very Spring inspired, no?
I'm not sure if I can follow it from WordPress, but I think I can create a Blogger blog, or profile anyway. Used to have one but most folks I knew were using WP at the time.

While I'm here, I went ahead and changed my username to Reverie. I still have a lot to do towards formatting and creating an intro, but right now I just need to write!! You know, for therapy. So I'm doing that, on and off the blog. I do plan to update it someday though. Hehe

ok, so I'm just going to post it here. It's a private blog though so I'll have to add you, but click here if interested. I've also followed all (I think all now) of the blogs here. My username on WP Is Reverie (as said in last post), so you'll know it's me if I comment. Ok, thanks!

Here's mine, which is focused on budgeting/finance for people that have additional struggles (eg. manic spending) Debt Decimator Blog - Eliminate Debt on Your Own Terms. I'm still working out the kinks, but definitely interested in feedback, and/or whether or not it is useful!

I'd like to read your blogs. Mine is in my sig. Its a take off on etiquette experts with some pretty outrageous characters. Its all written very much tongue in cheek.

Mine is in my signature

It's about mental illness (schizoaffective/bipolar, anxiety, and bulimia), plus I post random journal entries , thoughts, some of my artwork,
book reviews, stuff about videogames. Basically a big variety of stuff but I do post a lot pertaining to mental health

I'm interested in creating a blog (from scratch-- I'm into coding), but would you guys be interested in reading it? Is it worth the effort? I already journal so that takes care of my need to get stuff out.

I would definitely read it if it's bipolar related.

DocJohn,

I just tried to submit my blog to your site but the program said "Sorry. We do not accept sites like this." What does this mean?

Looks like the blog index is going away.

Mine is new so check it out but it's still a stub of a blog: barefootandbipolar.wordpress.com

I can't find where DocJohn said to post our blog sites for the index. Perhaps the index is no longer available like the PsychCentral blogs went away. So I'll just share here. I hope you stop by.
My blog is at Finding Joy Again | A Journey Out of Bipolar Disorder, Depression and Anxiety to Gratitude and Joy.
