This blog is written by a man about his experiences in living with Bipolar Disorder.   As a means of coming to terms with his illness, he devoted all his efforts to researching and writing about depression and bipolar disorder. He has written Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder, a book on mood disorders that covers the clinical and scientific issues from a patient’s perspective. In addition to his personal stories, he also covers recent news stories, articles, and research about Bipolar Disorder. The blog is updated regularly and is clearly written.  Definitely worth checking out!

The Icarus Project
The Icarus Project

They believe they have mad gifts to be cultivated and taken care of, rather than diseases or disorders to be suppressed or eliminated.  The site features articles, journals, resources and community forums.

The Mass Defective
The Mass Defective
This blog is written by a female author and talks about her experiences with Borderline Personality Disorder, and "one or more of the following...Major Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar II (depends on which psychiatrist or therapist you ask)." She writes about her daily life, as well as raising her teenage daughter. The blog is updated regularly (almost daily). Note: the posts do contain some occasional strong language when she is having a frustrating day or upset about something, so if you are sensitive to that type of thing, this may not be the blog for you. But overall, posts are well written and very honest and open about her thoughts and feelings.
