The good (and bad) news about blogging about depression in 2010 is that there’s less of it. Bloggers who were solely devoted to writing personal posts about depression, psychic pain, melancholy and stress in their lives found themselves, for whatever reasons, with less to say on traditional blogs.
But depression hasn’t vanished, and neither has blogging, so where’s it all going? Twitter, drop boxes, text, media, and mobile — watch for blogging to evolve across platforms. And there are professionals sharing tips, artists gathering, and advocates to support each other. Although it may seem a quiet time, under the surface it’s changing.
Blogs most likely to be triggering if you’re in a fragile state are marked with a (T). So, without further adieu, here are the picks for our favorite places we found depression blogged about in 2010…

Sandra,
Thanks for the shout out. I’m both honored and humbled being among these great bloggers.
~Dr. Deb
Thank you, thank you Sandra for including me in this. I’m proud to be among all of the top 10, and glad I haven’t slipped any.
Thanks Psych Central!
You’re very welcome, Deb and Katherine, and thank you for being solid as ever. You do great work!
I only had a chance to visit the #1 blog, but it’s a great one. Thank you for doing this. It’s connecting me with some new resources and individuals I wouldn’t have “met” otherwise.
Sandra,
Thank you so very much for including me in this list. It’s a huge honor to be included in such a talented group of bloggers. Deeply appreciated!
Warmest,

Thanks for the shout out from me too!
Cheers, Meagan.
Truly honored to be on this list and to be among such amazing minds and bloggers. Thank you for this gift!
Thank you, Sandra -
It means a great deal to be recognized by Psych Central (again!), and thank you for the wonderful description. You’ve introduced me to some bloggers I hadn’t known about, and I’m busy checking them out.
My best to you -
John
Thanks so much for the mention. I’m very surprised and honored.
I hope my ongoing struggle can help others understand that depression isn’t something that you can be “cured” of. It’s a life-long struggle.

Congratulations to everyone that made it to the top ten and to everyone who created a blog to document their struggles.
I feel that no one should ever suffer alone. There’s a whole world out there waiting to hear your story and to help.
I’ve also joined the ranks of people who blog about their depression.
I started anyhelpwilldo.com because I feel that I need to tell my story to anyone who will listen.
Please feel free to visit. Thanks!
Mark
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so humbled and honored to be included in the top ten list again. This is actually my third full year of blogging, and I appreciate the recognition of my work. I hope my continuing recovery can help others find their way out of the darkness, too. Thank you again, PsychCentral!
Thank you for this list. I found it through draw that beast–which is such a unique blog. I also really like erathora.wordpress.com. I will be checking out some of these other ones–as it often hard to find people “in the real world” to connect with.
I am new to the game and hope to be considered perhaps for 2011. My blog is only 1 month old so I am trying to gain some followers. I am a passionate writer and aspire to help someone else by sharing my experiences.

I’m enjoying reaching out to the Depression Blog community for the first time and learning from, empathizing with and sharing with them, too. I would love some feed back on the blog I just started. Thanks in advance. expressionsofdepression.com
Hi
I have my own blog – http://www.theSarayiahpost.com – which deals with depression amongst other things. I launched it just over a year ago after going through a very difficult time and it is my views on Life, Love and Relationships to help others.
My article, “Suicide Blonde,” tells of how my world collapsed and why I am still alive today to tell the story… The direct link is: http://www.thesarayiahpost.com/MyPosts/2012/10/suicide-blonde.html
