Psych Central has posted the 2007 Best of the Web -Depression Blogs.
There are a number of blogs in there I haven’t read before, I’ll definitely be taking a look. Perhaps while I sit at JFK tonight waiting for my delayed flight home. At least there’s wifi!!
Pin I saw this article today about an amputee softball team, made of a bunch of folks who were injured during their service, the kind of people we all would typically view as PTSD sufferers, and I really found this part of the article interesting, way above and beyond battlefield trauma: Yet, Schnurr says, there’s no…
Pin It’s heartbreaking to me. It’s overwhelming to consider what’s missing because we haven’t figured out a way to help those who need it the most. The loss is incalculable. I have no words to describe it. I can personalize it because I was someone at risk. I know what would be missing if I had lost that battle. I’d be missing from everything that has happened in the 30 years since. I don’t like to think about that.

In the post, Elaina talks about getting angry at her situation, and deciding to simply stop taking…
I spotted a post by Rainbow Gryphon’s blog the other day, mostly due to the fact that she linked to this blog as an example of how men can suffer emotional abuse. As I read her post, I realized that for all the years I’ve been writing here, I haven’t really gotten into the details…
Want to know the quickest way to depression? Leave CNN on all day. I guarantee the non stop war coverage will leave you unable to deal with life. You see, the thing is, we have 24 hour news coverage, but our minds were never designed to handle non-stop war coverage. We can be concerned for…
One of the common struggles for me is the feeling I have that no matter how happy I am right now, I’m inevitably going to do something eventually to screw it up and lose that happiness. That no matter how much someone loves me, I’m always “this” far away from not having it any longer….

I’m off for my own week-long trip myself. I hope yours perks up after the delay. I’ll try to look at these “best of” blogs before I go. Thanks for the tip!
