Overcoming Mental Illness

See that neat little play on the title there, blimey I’m a clever wee lad aren’t I :p

Anyhow.

I wanted to try and allow this blog to grow a little, expand it’s horizens and impacts and as well as offering the power of ‘commenting’ I’ve decided to introduce a wee community space where people can gather, chat and debate issues which relate to mental health and the related conditions we deal with and fight against every day.

This can be found here: www.myjourneywithdepression.com/community

And anyone is welcome to join, whether you are a reader of this blog or not - even if you’ve never read a single word of the blog you’re welcome to join :)

As I say, it’s very new at the moment (ie - only 1 member, moi) but you never know it may grow as. For as the song says, ‘from little things, big things grow,’ so feel free to sign up and get involved. You don’t have to use your name (and this is strongly advised) so whatever is posted or commented will remain as confidential as you choose.

So check out the new community space now available through the blog.

It’s new.

It’s exciting.

It’s an absolutely brilliant idea!

Have you been searching for a place where you can be accepted for who you are not what you are? A place where someone with bipolar can feel safe and secure? Well you have found it. OurBipolar is the first social networking site designed specifically for people with the condition known as bipolar.

Earlier on this week I learned of a fantastic new place on the net where sufferers of bipolar can gather together and form their own little community. It’s called Our Bipolar and can be found at www.ourbipolar.com. I immediately signed up because this is an initiative which deserves to succeed. So if you’re suffering from bipolar/manic depression then get your butts on over and sign up - join in the forums, join in the groups, make connections, find help and support and make new friends. What are you waiting for?
