10 mental health blog we’ll enjoy reading

We thought we’d pop a list together of the blogs we frequently read, admire and appreciate. We hope you enjoy them as we do.

1. THE MIGHTY

The Mighty publish real stories by real people, living with disability, disease and mental illness. They aim to build a safe platform for their community to share their stories, connect with others and raise support for the causes they believe in. Their mental illness section is excellent, and covers a wide range of conditions.

2. THE SECRET LIFE OF A MANIC DEPRESSIVE

Writer and mental health activist Seaneen started The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive ten years ago and has been sharing her experiences of being “mentally interesting” since. We love Seaneen’s humour, and warm, informal tone, as well as her “furious, hastily typed and unspellchecked rants”.

3. MIND

We are huge fans of Mind and the work they do to support those living with Mental Health problems. They use their blog to publish personal and relatable stories to help those living with mental illness feel cared about, understood and listened to.

Thanks for joining me!
