Blogging for Depression: Part Three


See? Even cats find blogging intriguing! Or is it the mouse that has his attention? Either way, blogging can quickly become a hobby you wondered how you had ever lived without.
I am not just blogging for your depression, 
I am blogging for my depression.

That's right, blogging helps my depression. The process of writing helps depression. There are not many counselor/therapists you go to who won't encourage you to journal.

The self-expression aspect of writing is healthy for everyone, not just those challenged by depression.

 Today I don't want to only emphasize writing for depression but also blogging for depression. If you are already someone who enjoys expressing themselves with words then blogging may be a natural outlet for you.

 There is lots of help out there to get you started. It has been so long since I started blogging that the 'how to blog' resources have changed. Websites come and go. Many have quit. New ones have emerged. That's the way it is with blogging. Lots try it out but few stick it out. It is not for everyone.

 That is why I would recommend starting simple and free with 'Blogger'. It was the first blogging platform created by Google. There are lots of others out there but this one is free and simple and an easy way to find out whether or not you even like blogging. Just go to it through your Google account.

 WHAT ABOUT YOU? How are you feeling today? Are you thinking about getting into blogging too? Or are you a blogger who can't get enough? 

 There is hope for depression. Don't give up!

Anyways, that reminded me of how much you can find on the internet just with a few words to google. It's amazing, isn't it? And that got me thinking about how much information I have found over the years about depression that has helped me.

Joy and Sorrow - Together?

  Joy and Sorrow - At the Same Time? Have you ever experienced joy in the middle of sorrow? I have. My father died suddenly at the age of 59. I remember the moment. I was at his funeral, sitting in the front pew holding my mother's right hand with my sister on the other side holding her left hand. The three of us were drenched with tears. The big church was packed. But despite my sorrow I was filled with joy at the life my dad had lived, at the lives he had impacted in a good way, and at the thankfulness I felt for having him all those years.
