Check Out These New Mental Health Blogs

Well, they’re not all new, per se, but they’re some of the mental health blogs I’ve been checking out lately.

Recovering One Day At A Time is written by maryruth, a seriously busy American woman (she’s a single mother of four, a homeschooler to her special needs son, a writer, a NAMI advocate, and she just started working on her Master’s in Psychology!) who wants to share her “walk through mental illness to recovery.”

I’m Listening is written by “Wandering Coyote,” a Canadian lady who’s managing borderline personality disorder, dysthymia, and major depressive disorder and who seeks to bust the stigma of mental illness.

Clinically Clueless is written by “Clueless,” another American woman who, for the past 20 years, has both worked in the mental health field and has been is psychotherapy. Clueless has been dealing with dsysthymia, borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and an eating disorder, as well as self-injury and suicidal ideation.

One Bipolar Life is written by “Preciousrock,” a single mother who is managing bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and who also runs OneBipolarLife.com.

Advocate Support Blog is a very thorough blog that covers mental health resources, interesting links, mental health news, and other information related to mental health. The writer, James Crosson, is also affiliated with Advocate Support Services, Inc.

PsyBlog is by no means new (I think it’s been around since 2004), but I just recently stumbled across it. Its owner, freelance writer Jeremy Dean, has various degrees in the mental health field and he keeps the site packed with mental health information.

Mental Health – Able Mart is a sort of Web site/blog duo, where you can find articles/blog posts about everything from managing stress as a caregiver to bipolar disorder.

I’ve added each of these blogs to the blogroll here at Mental Health Notes, and if you know of any others you think I should feature, feel free to drop me a line in the comments.

In the meantime, happy reading!
