On a blog I read the blogger is having a bad time, I commented and said I thought that the blogger was actually a kind, funny and caring person which is true. I then got to thinking about blogging and bloggers and why people blog and decided it was a funny old world we lived in. I think it is mostly the anonymity that makes me blog. I can write pretty much how I feel without it impacting on anyone who knows me. If I feel bad I can say so without having to explain (or worse analyse) why I feel that way, I don’t have to worry about upsetting anyone. I can even talk about the root causes (or what I think are the root causes) of my mental health issues something I tend not to do with anyone even the “professionals”; although to be honest I do not want to talk of it even here. So I like the anonymity of blogging, but then that’s me – I am sure there are many others who blog for different reasons.
I do read others blog both those with MH issues and other bloggers and I find them for the most part interesting and informative and with the MH bloggers I especially find them comforting in that it helps me recognise that there isn’t just me who feels rubbish.
Speaking of feeling rubbish I do feel rubbish today, my positivity seems to have taken a hike and I feel like I am on a downward spiral again. I am sure I am what they call “rapid cycling” and I am trying to hope it will sort of plateau out into something more realistic but at the minute it all seems a very dark shade of grey.
