How Blog Writing Helps Bipolar Like Me (and keeping me sane)

This time I will tell how blog writing helps bipolar like me. I am a very active internet user. Never a day I missed without using the internet. With that facility, plus the anxiety disorder that causes me to be lazy to meet anyone makes me very often berate on the internet.

It’s not that difficult, being a smart guy on the internet. With a little copy and paste, people can easily look smart or wise. But not so with me. I was also diagnosed with schizophrenia, which means a lot of whispers in my ear. If I tell you, I can be considered insane. That’s why I write.

So what do I have now? Bipolar, anxiety disorder and schizophrenia. Really a troublesome combination. Before writing a blog, I use the variety of social media to express what I feel, see or hear. As a result, many of my relatives who knew about my illness started giving me bits of advice on things they don’t even understand. Shit.

I am often dumbfounded, not doing anything all day except caring for the little one that is now separated away from me. Sometimes I think it’s better for him to be away from me so that his development is not disturbed. Often I get annoyed without cause, and my son became my target because only he was there for me.

Now I miss him so much, and I want to change everything I’ve ever done with my life to always be with him. But every time I see him happy when away from me, I resist the desire to meet him.

Ain’t it funny, how is my source of happiness the source of my misery? Not a person to blame, but myself. Even though people say self-blame is not good, then who is wrong? It could end up blaming destiny. And that’s ridiculous.

How Blog Writing Really Helps

Back to the topic of how blog writing helps me as bipolar. The answer is simple, I need a place for my anger, a place where I can pour out my feelings honestly. Without judgment from others. And know if writing an article that read just one minute just take hours?

It gives me something to kill my time with, so I do not have time to listen to the voices I hear as people diagnosed with schizophrenia.

My partner suggested I write a book, and I have written some books I sell on iBooks and Amazon. But lately I feel more comfortable writing a blog, my psychiatrist also supports this idea. And coincidentally, I really need to talk at length about something I feel without disturbing other’s social media timeline.

As I write more and more, I start gradually making it a shared place between bipolar and caregiver. It’s great when my writing can inspire those who are less excited. And obviously, by writing a blog, my time to annoy people I care about is reduced.

If you are reading this, the chance is you’re bipolar or a caregiver looking for advice. This is my advice, start writing a blog. If it helps me, it will help others like me. Start by checking the link I provided below, it’s easy even for a no-brainer like me.
