When nobody understands us and what we are going through we often times turn to depression music or blogs about depression and anxiety. These are the two supportive things that help us get through the hard times in our lives.
Sometimes, we aren’t even depressed we are just feeling sad, and we want somebody to share our feelings in a way that we can relate to. Especially now, when the autumn sadness punches you right in the face, it’s good to have some emotionally supportive and strong read that makes you feel better.
While Life to Make, personal depression blog, is only growing and the articles start to appear, there are a lot of other amazing blogs about depression and anxiety that will definitely give what you’re looking for. I often read them myself because they give me the inspiration to keep writing my blog and help other people find the answers they are looking for.
So, I hope you enjoy this list of depression blogs that will help you forget about living with depression and anxiety that is killing you.
Time to Change focuses on the variety of depression types and mental health disorders, anxiety, bipolar psychosis, suicidal thoughts, etc. One of their focuses is also depression stories and personal blogs that are written by real people who had experience dealing with depression or are trying to live with it.
Their mission is to enlarge people’s knowledge about understanding the mental health disorders and causes of depression. You’ll find all types of personal stories related to depression from so many different people with so many worth-sharing experiences that will make you feel alive again. Highly recommended.
Pick the Brain is more of a self-development blog, however, they also focus on coping with depression through self-growth and self-awareness. This the approach that I’ll be implementing here at Life to Make. The best way to cope with depression is to, first, gain depression awareness and then add some clarity to it. Once you’ve learned about yourself and your condition, you can start killing the problem even without depression medications.
So, Pick the Brain is a great resource for you to read if you think that you’re ready to make a change in your life and increase your self-awareness. They also have self-development podcasts which I like listening to.

Everyone feels down now and then, but clinical depression is a debilitating disorder that is ongoing and that interferes with a person’s daily life. It should be noted that not all experts agree on what is “normal” sadness and what constitutes a “disorder.” However, it is safe to say that some people experience profoundly negative emotions, at times accompanied by feelings of worthlessness and inordinate guilt.
If you suffer from depression, a practical suggestion to help you control your thoughts and feelings is to create what has been called an emotional first-aid kit. The kit, which can be adjusted as you see fit, might include the items on this page.
* Contact information of people to call when you feel down.
* Favorite songs that are positive and upbuilding.
* Inspirational sayings and encouraging articles.
* A list of comforting and upbuilding sayings from the Bible.
* Mementos to remind you of people who love you.
* A journal containing your positive thoughts as well as positive experiences you have enjoyed.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
