If you have a blog please share - I love reading blogs of which I can relate. Why do you write and what does it do for you? I'm just interested is all.
I noticed a few of my soul mates in mental illness have a blog. I find my blog a wonderful way to just talk about what I'm doing, feeling, thinking. I don't even care if it is never read by a single other person. Actually, I hope no one reads it. I tried keeping a journal but I am not consistent enough in my life to stick with it and then I lose it or whatever. In addition, my hands hurt terribly if I try to write for too long. My blog is always there but is not putting any pressure on me to check in daily. I am certain that a paper journal is always reprimanding me to write something because I'm "supposed" to. I hate having to do something because I'm told to do so until I make up my mind to do it and then prove it is beneficial or not. I like to do things because they make me feel better. Walking makes me feel better so I do it. Working at the gym makes me feel better so I do that too. Taking my meds (most of the time) makes me feel better so I do that too. Unfortunately, I'm not going to bed at a decent hour and so I'm not feeling the best I can - but at least I know that, right.

I don't have a blog at this time, but thanks for asking.
Writing indeed is such a great creative outlet and I find some of our best knowledge (not to mention validation) comes from hearing other people's stories. Good luck in your continued endeavors.
