Recovering from a episode of major depression...

This blog shall document my struggle with a mental illness. I hope anyone that comes across it, will find inspiration to continue to live and live well. Be forewarned, if negative moods and actions affect how you feel or affect your well-being then don't read my blog. Otherwise all encouraging and carefully crafted criticisms are appreciated.

Ning?

Build a practical bipolar community.

In the past, I have actively participated in different Ning communities ranging from hair, makeup, social justice to dating.  I am thinking of starting a Ning community for people with mental illness. I am not sure if I want to keep it general or specific (only bipolar disorder). I don't have particular interest in other disorders besides my own. I know that is not politically correct. And I might feel this way right now because I am depressed. On the other hand, I know all mental illnesses share commonalities (Aren't I capricious with my viewpoints). I come across on the internet many fascinating people who have "issues" and are dealing with them.  It would be nice to have one place where people will share there coping strategies. Ning would allow people to use different mediums like video sharing/vlogging e.g. YouTube. Straight up blogging, podcasts, etc.

I'll think about it.  This would be a distraction that would keep me connected to the world, so it might be a worthwhile endeavor.
