Membership:
Membership to the Guild fall into two specific categories. These being either membership awarded to a blog or website specific too or dealing with Mental Health Awareness and/or Mental Illness. Or membership awarded to an Author or Writer who writes about Mental Health Awareness and/or Mental Illness. Please note that these are separate membership types and having one membership type does not automatically infer the other.
Blog Membership:
Due to the nature of Mental Health and Mental Awareness blogging and in respect of those bloggers who wish to retain some anonymity, whilst membership is of course inferred upon the blog owner it is given specifically awarded to the blog or website nominated or submitted ONLY. For this reason, in respect of blog membership, the right to display the Guild Logo applies ONLY to that blog or site.
Therefore, should a member wish to display the logo on another blog or site he or she MUST first submit the other blog or site for approval and have that site or blog approved by the Guild before displaying said logo.
Membership to the Guild is based solely on that blog/site having Mental Health and/or Mental Wellness as a main focus of it’s content. A blog or site’s membership to the Guild does not therefore infer that the Guild (or it’s members) endorse or agree with all of the content of that blog or site.
In this case the ‘Member Blog’ Logo for that year can and should be displayed on that website or blog.
Author Membership:
Unlike ‘Blog Membership’, Author membership is awarded to the actual author or writer and not to any blog or website he or she may own or publish. And therefore ‘Author Membership’ does not automatically infer ‘Blog Membership’ to any blogs or websites owned or published by said author.
Author Membership was created in order to afford membership to those writers or authors whose work does not constitute or is not specific to blogs or websites but which have Mental Health and/or Mental Wellness as a main focus. Therefore, ‘Author Membership’ would apply to those who have written and published books or articles in off-line journals and magazines for example.
Access to Membership:
Access to membership of the Guild is free and voluntary and is via direct application or by nomination from a third-party and details of how to apply or to nominate someone can be found on this page.
Members of the Guild are entitled to display the appropriate Guild Membership logo on their work whilst they remain a member of the Guild, agreeing to remove said logo from their site/blog (or in the case of Author Membership to cease from using said logo) should their membership end.
Membership Involvement:
The primary focus of the Guild is to afford a recognizable community offering support and encouragement for those writers who have mental health or mental well-being as a main theme in their writing.
Additionally it is hoped that the Guild will provide a vehicle through which anyone who writes about mental health or mental well-being will be able to identify other writers who have the same or related interests and indeed themselves be recognized by other writers.
Being mindful of member’s commitment to their own blogs and sites no expectations whatsoever in respect of making contributions to the Guilds’ blog/site are placed upon Guild members.
Members who wish to contribute pieces for inclusion on the Guild’s blog/site or who wish to participate in the competitions that are planned are of course very welcome to do so but no expectation to do so is implied in the offering or the acceptance membership.
Applications and Nominations:
Application or Nomination for Membership of the Guild is open to all whose work is:
a) in the public domain, and
b) relating to mental health and mental well-being, and
c) where the main perceived intent is not to bring mental health or mental illness and/or those people suffering from it or their friends and family or people working within this field into disrepute.
A list of those authors, writers, sites and blogs who are currently members of the Guild will be displayed on our Member Authors and/or Member Blogs pages in the hope that anyone visiting these pages will be encouraged to check out the work of those there listed.
Guild Members, by virtue of their acceptance to the Guild, show their agreement and support of the aims and purposes listed on the GUILD AIMS AND PURPOSES page.

Plus details of their work with respect to Mental Health Awareness or Mental Illness. Please note that: In respect of your nominating a third person or their blog/site for membership you MUST have their prior approval to do so.
The sites/blogs being nominated or the sites through which relevant works are advertised will then be visited and their content read and considered for membership of the Guild and will then be offered membership to the guild as appropriate.
Acceptance into membership of the Guild, and continued membership, remains discretionary not in an attempt to limit membership but simply to ensure that membership of the guild remains credible and worthwhile and in order to try to ensure that the guild and its members are not associated with folk who seek to attack, ridicule, or hurt those folk suffering from mental illness or poor mental health.

Hi, I like to be a member to get some more readers to my site. I think some of the postings I’ve written about having a mental illness and trying to achieve happiness would help other readers. My blog is ascrazydoes.com.
Thanks!
Hi Isabelle,
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding membership to the Mental Health Writers’ Guild.
Having had a chance to pop across and check out your blog ‘Crazy Is As Crazy Does’ I am more than happy to include it in our Guild Members List and in fact have just done exactly that.
I should perhaps explain that in response to the stigma that is out there concerning mental illness, and out of respect for those bloggers who have decided to remain anonymous in their blogging, Guild Membership (and the permission to display our logo) is given specific to blogs and not blog owners.
Please feel free to explore the blog and please do take some time to check out our Membership and Guild Members Pages. Additionally please feel free to email me a bio for our Member’s Profile feature (More about this can be found here
As a member you are perfectly welcome to display the Guild Member’s logo on the aforementioned blog and this can be copied from the Guild Members Page and at the foot of that page there are also some tips on how to display the logo should you need them.
Over the next few days I hope to be able to visit your blog and spend a little more time getting to know you and your writing, So all that remains if for me to officially say “Welcome to our little band of bloggers” and “if there is anything I can do to help please just let me know.”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hi, I’d love to become a member. Only just found this site and can’t wait to have a proper look through to find more like-minded people.
I’m trying to turn my mental health problems into positive experiences to help others.
My site is: https://theothersideofp.wordpress.com/
Pippa
Hi Pippa,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “theothersideofp”.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited the site and I am more than happy to include the site “theothersideofp” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Guild membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Guild membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hello Health Writer’s Guild,
This is a very interesting way to provide a resource.
My sister and I have been working on a project, Behind The Wall: The True Story of Mental Illness as Told by Parents, which is a collection of stories about parenting an adult child who lives with a serious mental illness. We also have a blog that we would like to be considered inclusion in your guild:
http://behindthewallstories.wordpress.com
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Mary Widdifield
Elin Abercrombie
Hi Mary and Elin,
Apologies for the delayed response but I have been unwell.
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding your site “Behind The Wall” and apologies for having taken a little while to get back to you. I have been unwell.

As someone dealing with major depression and anxiety disorders (and a long list of other things) I love the idea of this site and being able to find others who are writing about the same problems.Thank you for this! I would love for my blog to be included at some point but as I have just started out and am going through an extreme low point with my depression my posts are not as positive and encouraging as I hope they will be at some point. This is good motivation for me though thank you (: Keep up the good work!
Hi TAD.
Many thanks for taking time to get in touch and I am so sorry to hear that you are going through an extreme low point with your depression. I think so many of us experience those at times and I can certainly relate to your comment that your posts are not always as positive or encouraging as you would hope. I too have posts like that in my personal blog. http://www.voicesofglass.wordpress.com.
Have you considered your blog becoming a guild member? It is free and there are no expectations other than the blog must include mental health related topics. It would mean that your blog would be listed on our Guild Members page and that might in turn increase your readership.
Just an idea 🙂
Again, many thanks for your kind words.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Thanks for the support. I’ll be sure to check out your blog (:
I would love to be a part of the guild. What do I need to do to join?

Hi! I’d love to be a part of the Mental Health Writer’s Guild! My blog is
https://casualbedlambipolar.wordpress.com
My handle on said blog is: laurabedlam. My blog deals primarily with the everyday aspects of living with and treating bipolar disorder and mental illness in general. Some topics covered are: stigma, medication, psychotherapy, self-esteem, relationships, and comorbidity, among others. Thanks for your consideration and for working to further the dialogue! (Quick note: blog contains a good deal of profanity because I cuss a lot in real life. I don’t know if that matters to you, but I recognize some people are sensitive to strong language and I thought I’d just give you a heads up.) -LB

Hi, I just found this site and think it is fantastic. I have been blogging for about 5 years now but have just started a new blog last month and have removed all my previous work. I am passionate about mental health and have been sharing my own journey for years. I would love to apply for a Blog Membership to the Guild and authorship if you will have me. My commitment remains to help as many people as I possibly can (including myself!)
My site is http://www.revolvingofdoors.com
All the best,
Zee
Hi Zee,
Sorry for the really lengthy delay in responding. I have been unwell and extremely busy over the Christmas time. I am now in the process of trying to play catch up. Do you still wish to be considered for membership?
Let me know please.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Hi Zee,
Firstly a big apology for the delayed response. I have been unwell and additionally I have been extremely busy of late. Not least of which because of having to play ‘catch up’ with all the things that slipped by the wayside whilst I was unwell. So huge apologies for the delayed response. And also – by way of a ‘just in case’ caveat (if you will) I apologise if my response is a little confused. In truth my mind is still not 100%. So, the above apologies and explanation having been made…
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “Revolving of Doors” and your book of the same name.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your site and I am more than happy to include the “Revolving of Doors” site in our ‘Member Blogs’ list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome! I have also included you on our Member Authors page. So well done!

Hello boldkevin, I’m requesting to be included for blog or author membership. To be included would make me very proud indeed. Though mental illness is always present in my blogs, I write mainly through the lens of my personal struggle with bipolar disorder. Recent articles have focused on how we construct memory, deal with trauma, and work through the waves of mania and depression, the ebb and flow of clarity and fog.
Just in case, you can find my blog at: https://perpendicularme.com/
Cheers!

The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Blog Membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Blog Membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, Blog Membership does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your nomination. Sorry it’s taken a while to get back to you. I’ve been moving and my world is in boxes! I feel like half of me is in one state and the other is in another … and things will probably hang here in ‘Limbo’ for a little like that until I get a job in the new location (then I can find somewhere to live, move my stuff, find a Church etc etc etc and all the stuff that follows … but until then …) – but least the whole of me is here now!
I’d love to be a part of the Guild. Please, yes! Count me in. What a great project!
Cheers,
Jill
Hey Jill,
So good to hear from you again. I know that you have been very busy of late but I have been concerned about you.
I am delighted that you are happy to be part of the guild. I have today added your name to the list of members on the Guild Members page and please feel free to pop over there and to copy the member’s logo and display it on your blag if you wouldlike to.
There is also a current competition running which you are welcome to have a go at.
Hope everything gets sorted for you soon. I will be praying.
Kind Regards
Kevin.

Hi Underground,
Thanks for contacting me about Guild Membership. I had an opportunity late last night/early this morning to pop across and spend a little time reading your blog and I think you and your blog would be a great addition to our membership.
I am therefore happy to confirm that I have therefore today added your blog name to our Guild Members list
As a Guild Member you are fully entitled to display the Guiuld logo on your blog and there are instruction to help you with this on that same pag should you need them.
You are also entitled to enter any competitions that we run and to hand out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger or blog which inspires you.
I hope all that makes sense and that you enjoy your membership with us. But if there is anything that I can do to help or if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Kind Regards
Kevin
Hello, I am fairly new to the blogging community so do not have enough readers to request nomination, but if you review my posts I hope the body of writing speaks for itself. Would be delighted to be accepted into your fold. blog site: jillgallagher.wordpress.com (not quite dead is the mental health blog) screen name: magicallymad e-mail: jillgallagher2003@yahoo.com
Thank you for your time & for your contribution to our demographic. This online community is virtually an avenue or therapy of its own.
Hi MM
Many thanks for getting in touch and for considering joining our little community.
I have this morning popped over and visited your blog and am more that happy to include it on our list of members. Because of this I have done just that and added it to our members list and am happy to welcome you as it’s author.
Please feel to check out the blog and to visit the Guild Members page and copy the members logo from that page and to display it on your own blog.
We have just finished one competition but another one is coming up soon and as a guild member you are more that welcome to join in with that. Additionally there is an award tat you can give out as a guild member so please feel free to check that out.

Kevin
YAY!!!! Thank you so much! Happy dreams.
I would love to nominate bipolarmuse.com for membership in the guild, her volume of work is varied and inspiring.
Nominated by magicallymad, new member. My mental-health-based page is: jillgallagher.wordpress.com
Hi Jill,
Excellent nomination, Have you spoken to her about membership to the guild?
Kind Regards
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Yes, I told Bipolarmuse that I value the guild as both a community and valuable online resource for clinical information, emerging trends, etc. Your post on the new DSM is what inspired me to nominate her – a great balance of “real life” experience in her blog & a commitment to the community/population in yours. I hope that makes sense?
Best,
Jill
(Did I read you’re in Ireland? I was wondering about the mental health system there as I have a friend in a London suburb who is devastated by a lack of availability to sophisticated care for her son…)
Hi Jill,
Thanks for clearing that up for me and for your kindness. I will send Bipolarmuse a message abotu membership an see what she decides. She certainly would make an excellent member. 🙂
As for your question about my living in Ireland, the answer is yes I do and actually I moved over here from England some several years back now.
Because of this and because of the work I did when I was living in Ireland and before I crashed and burned in terms of my health I therefore have some experience of both the mental health services provision here in Ireland and also in England. ALthough it has been some years since I was in England and a few more years since I worked with Mental Health practioners and clients in England.
What I will do tomorrow, in response to the questions you raised, is post an article describing my experiences and opinions of both the Mental Health Services here in Ireland and in England and possibly offer some advice about your friend in London and the lack of sophisticated care for her son.
Hope that is ok?
Kind Regards.
Kevin
You’re wonderful! Thank you, Kevin! Hugs from full-blooded, crashed & burned Irish American!
I’m interested in becoming a member of the Mental Health Writers’ Guild. It sounds like a great way to get to know other bloggers and share information. My website is anitasimpson.com. In the top menu there is a category “Mental Health Posts” that lists the posts that were most pertinent to mental health.
Thank you for your consideration!
Hi Anita,
Many thanks for getting in touch. I have had a chance to check out your blog (albeit very briefly – i shall take a longer look later I promise) and am more than happy to include you in membership.
Feel free to check out what we have going on, enter the current competition and avail yourself of the Membership logo (found on the Guild Members page).
If you have any questions just let me know.
Great to have you as a member.
Kind Regards
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin! I’m excited to be a member, and I appreciate it very much. I hope to get to know the group soon.
Hi Anita,
I have just added your blog to our list of Guild members.
Really good to have you with us.
Kind Regards
Kevin.
Hi,
I would love it if you would be willing to evaluate my blog for the guild: From Bloor Street @ http://ephena.wordpress.com/
I write about living with bipolar disorder, and a lot of other mental health related stuff (although there isn’t too much up there yet). I live in Canada, so the system is very different from the States, but there are similar issues with stigma and treatment. While I participate in the medical model of treatment, I am also fairly interested in the Mad Pride movement. I want to look at the full spectrum of people dealing with mental health issues.
I am also working on a site which would be a library list of writing by people with mental health issues and mad writers. I’m hoping to launch it in the fall with lists and links to autobiographies, biographies, stories, fiction and blogs. I would love for it to be a reference for people with madness/illness/struggles and also their friends and families, as a place to find good writing covering the full spectrum of people affected by mental health issues. I’m actually looking for a good name right now, I was looking at “Lives Written”, but if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
Cheers,
Annette
Hi Annette,
Many thanks for getting in touch.
Having had the chance to check out your blog Iam happy to be able to tell you that I have today added your blog to the list of Guild Members.
Please take some time to check out the Guild blog and espcially the Membership page and Guild Members Page. (please also check your blog’s entry is correct on that page) You will also find a copy of the Guild Member’s Logo opn that page which can be displayed on the blog that you have submitted and which has now been accepted.
I think everything is fairly self-explanatory but if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
good to have you with us.
Kind Regards.

Thank you for your consideration.
Please note that I have signed in with my wordpress account where I have created a blog that shows snippets of the posts on mentalhealthtalk.info. I have this account to be able to comment on other wordpress blogs and sometimes it is required to do guest posts.
Hi Trish,
Many thanks for getting in touch concerning membership of the Guild.
Having now had the opportunity to pop over and check out your site I am more than happy to include your blog/site on our list of members and so have done just that.
With membership you are welcome to visit the Guild Members page and to copy the Members logo and then display it on your Mental Health Talk blog/site should you so wish. But please be advised that the membership is technically given to the blog not the blogger so should you start or have another blog and wish to display the blog on other blogs we do ask that you check with us first as it is important to us that all blogs displaying our logo are listed and do represent mental health and mental illness in a positive light.
Other than that please feel free to check out our blog and participate in what is going on and to get to know other member blogs.
Should you have any question or if there is anything I can help you with please feel free to get in touch.
Once again thank you for getting in touch and welcome to our little band of bloggers.
Kind Regards
Kevin.
Thanks Kevin!
you are most welcome 🙂
This site is brilliant! I spend a lot of time wandering around mental health blogs, and there’s a great collection (many faces I recognise too) here 😀
I feel a bit silly asking, but would my blog be suitable for membership? It’s http://www.halfwaybetweenthegutter.wordpress.com. I blog a lot about my experiences with mental illness (I have BPD, chronic depression and severe anxiety disorder) but it does also contain things about chronic pain and illness, so I don’t know if it’s maybe too diverse.
Dear HBTG,
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding membership to the Mental Health Writer’s Guild and please don’t ever feel siully asking anything of this group nor indeed me personally. 🙂
Having had a chance to pop across and check out your blog Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars I am more than happy to include it on our Guild Members List and in fact have just done exactly that. Welcome !
I should perhaps explain that in response to the stigma that is out there concerning mental illness, and out of respect for those bloggers who have decided to remain anonymous in their blogging, Guild Membership (and the permission to display our logo) is given specific to blogs and not blog owners.
Please feel free to explore the blog and please do take some time to check out our Membership and Guild Members Pages. Additionally please feel free to email me a bio for our Member’s Profile feature (More about this can be found here
As a member you are perfectly welcome to display the Guild Member’s logo on the aforementioned blog and this can be copied from the Guild Members Page and at the foot of that page there are also some tips on how to display the logo should you need them.
So al,l that remains if for me to officially say “Welcome to our little band of bloggers” and “if there is anything I can do to help please just let me know.”
Kind Regards
Kevin
I would love to be a member. My blog is http://mybpdstory.wordpress.com and I write about Borderline Personality Disorder/depression/self harm.

Hi Kevin,
I have seen your site through many blogs I follow and wanted to let you know of mine. It has its dark and light moments but it centers around my BPD emotions.
http://borderlinegirlliveshere.wordpress.com/
Your commitment to this site is wonderful. Thank you for the time.
Hi Borderline girl,
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding membership to the Mental Health Writer’s Guild and many thanks for your kind words. I am very committed to thisa site and the cause as I think it extremely important that we have a home and a family of like-minded folk.
Having had a chance to pop across and check out your blog ‘borderlinegirlliveshere’ I am more than happy to include it on our Guild Members List and in fact have just done exactly that. Your site including both light and dark moments is perfectly understandable and afterall don’t we all experience both of those within our fight for mental health?
So welcome to our little band of bloggers!

Hi, I would like my blog to be considered for membership.
My name: sandra delemare
My blog: delemares.wordpress.com entitled: MMM… Meditation, Mental health, Mindful crochet. It is 3-pronged, but all posts have some link with mental health.
Hi Sandra,
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding membership to the Mental Health Writer’s Guild.
Having had a chance to pop across and check out your blog ‘MMM… Meditation, Mental health, Mindful crochet’ I am more than happy to include it on our Guild Members List and in fact have just done exactly that.
I undrstand the three-prongedS approach and that is totally fine, all we require for membership is that the site has Mental Health as one of it’s concerns. So I am very happy to say, “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”

Thank you Kevin, I’ve found great support and comfort in the bloggers I’ve started getting to know online who suffer with some of the same things I do. I no longer feel so alone.
Hi Hawkruh,
I am really glad to hear that you have found support ad comfort from other bloggers. No one should have to feel alone especially when we all suffer the same or similar conditions.
Anytime we can help just let us know.
Kind Regards
Kevin
hi, Kevin. I would like to submit my two blogs. The first one, writeintothelight.org, details my personal struggles and successes with mental illness. The second one at turtleway.wordpress.com is an online literary arts journal open to submissions relating to mental illness. Thanks for creating this site. I believe the more avenues we have to bring all of us together in one place the better off we all are (which is why I created Turtle Way.) Isolation is a terrible thing for most with mental illness. Thanks again.

Hi BB
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding membership to the Mental Health Writers’ Guild.
Having had a chance to pop across and check out your blog ‘bravingbipolar’ I am more than happy to include it in our Guild Members List and in fact have just done exactly that.
I should perhaps explain that in response to the stigma that is out there concerning mental illness, and out of respect for those bloggers who have decided to remain anonymous in their blogging, Guild Membership (and the permission to display our logo) is given specific to blogs and not blog owners.
Please feel free to explore the blog and please do take some time to check out our Membership and Guild Members Pages. Additionally please feel free to email me a bio for our Member’s Profile feature (More about this can be found here
As a member you are perfectly welcome to display the Guild Member’s logo on the aforementioned blog and this can be copied from the Guild Members Page and at the foot of that page there are also some tips on how to display the logo should you need them.
Over the next few days I hope to be able to visit your blog and spend a little more time getting to know you and your writing, So all that remains if for me to officially say “Welcome to our little band of bloggers” and “if there is anything I can do to help please just let me know.”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hi. I would very much like to become part of this. My blog deals with my battles with depression and panic disorder, and my rediscovery of my own emotions. I would be honoured if you would be willing to read it and consider me for membership. Thank you. There is a little creative writing in there too (I’m a writer), and although it does all deal with mental health issues, you can skip it if you like. That said, I think you should read the five parts of my post called “The Clockwork Man” 🙂
My blog is at http://shit3g3ist.wordpress.com/ and thank you.

Many thanks indeed, Kevin! I’m very happy to hear this 🙂
You are more than welcome Frank. 🙂
I would like to be considered to join, please. It looks like a good place to meet new people with similar interests. My blog is 50% about mental health. Mostly depression and PTSD because that’s what I’ve got. The rest is meant to be about taking my mind off my mental health.
It’s makeupandmirtazapine.com.

Hi Bunch,
Many thanks for getting in touch and for wanting to join our little group.
I am not at my best at the moment but did pop over to your blog and check it out and will I promise take more time to look it over in more detail when I am a little better. I promise.
In the meantime I am delighted to welcome your blog into membership and so have today added your blog address to our list of Guild Members
Please understand that due to bloggers often wishing to remain anonymous membership is specific to the blog as opposed to the blogger and so membership is given to your blog ‘vwoop vwoop’ and should you write other blogs and wish them to be considered for membership a separate submission will be needed 🙂
Please feel free to copy the members loge from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and there is one currently running, details of which can be found here.
Again welcome aboard.
Kind Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I found this site via Maxi’s meanaxiety blog 🙂
If my blog is suitable, I’d like to become a member as well; my blog is http://www.borderlinetobetter.wordpress.com and is about my 90 day challenge to myself to recover from borderline personality disorder. I’m hoping my experiences can help others going through the same, and the support I may potentially receive from others will help keep me motivated…I know motivation is a big hurdle for a lot of us.
Thanks! Sparrow

As I said I am going to try and pop across to check out your blog and so am very glad that you have joined the Guild. So all that remains if for me to officially say “Welcome to our little band of bloggers” and “if there is anything I can do to help you please just let me know.”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hi Kevin,
I had noticed that quite a few of the blogs I follow had the guild logo on their blog so I decided to come and have a look. Its a really great idea, you should be proud of what you’ve created here! 🙂
I wouldbe interested in joining the guild, my blog is mainly about my life dealing with depression and anxiety, and it can be found at http://www.anxiouselephant.wordpress.com
Thanks, anxious elephant
Hi AnxiousElephant,
It is really good to hear from you and many thanks for getting in touch and for wanting to join our little group.
I am a little snowed under with work at the moment but did pop over to your blog ‘AnxiousElephant”and check it out and will I promise take more time to look it over in more detail when I am a little less busy. I promise.
In the meantime I am delighted to welcome your blog “AnxiousElephant” into membership and so have today added your blog address to our list of Guild Members. So welcome to our Membership!
Please feel free to copy the members loge from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. YOu will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, memebership to the Guild is awarded to the blog and not the blogger. The only way that this is relevant is that it means that should you have or start a second or further blogs membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here. through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.com and “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin.
Thank you Kevin! I will definitely check out your blog, and add the logo to my page 🙂
You are most welcome, anytime 🙂

Hi,
My name’s Addy and I write a blog about my journey through bipolar, social anxiety and homelessness. After hovering in the background of this site for some time, finding countless wonderful blogs in the process, I’ve decided to take the plunge and see if I can obtain membership to the Guild.
Given my blog is eclectic in nature (a conscious decision as I abhor labels and wish people to see the whole me, not just the bipolar/anxious/homeless/etc me) I’m not sure if I would qualify, but I do write regularly of how mental health has affected my life and the various lessons I’ve learned on the long road toward recovery.
My blog address is: http://myjourneywithdepression.wordpress.com
Wishing you and everyone a wonderful day 🙂
Kind Regards,
Addy
Hi Addy,
It is really good to hear from you and many thanks for getting in touch and for wanting to join our little group.
I have no worries at all about including your blog “All That I Am. All That I Will Ever Be” in membership list and infact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
I am still getting over a dose of the flu at the moment and so have only just popped over and had a quick look at your blog but experiencing mental health issues and having been street homeless myself for a while I am keen to visit it at more length when I have more time.
Just one quick question, I have listed your blog under the name “All That I Am. All That I Will Ever Be” is that correct or would you like it to be listed under “My Journey With Depression.” The choice is entirely yours and I am more than happy to amend the entry in our Guild Member’s list should I have entered the wrong name. And if I have indeed entered the wrong one please accept my apologies for that.
Please feel free to copy the members loge from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.

Hi, I’ve been running a blog about ‘recovery’/living with BPD after having done DBT for a few years now, and while I’ve made a decision to take a slightly different direction with it, I think it should still be relevant to this group.
While I’m hoping to move away from such a strong disorder perspective, I want to move more into all that it means to live now with all that that entails (BPD is non-curable, but it i possible to go into ‘remission’ and live a full life), especially considering I’m in a relationship with another person with BPD. 😉
Anyway, you can find the blog at http://dialecticdichotomy.blogspot.com.au/ — I hope you like what you see. 🙂
Thank you!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks very much! No worries on your barely delayed response, and apologies on my much related one! My partner has a friend staying with us at the moment and my ability to respond to things has been greatly diminished. I hope your flu recovery is going well!
In terms of the membership logo, is it okay to use the image hosted here (hotlink) or should I save the file and upload it to my blog and create a link here like that? Thanks. 🙂
Hi Chrysalis,
Youy are welcome to use the logo from any source. Unfortunately my laptop is in the middle of dying, despite my best efforts to fix it, and I am having trouble seeing the link you provided. But yes please feel free to use the logo from any source that is convenient to you.
Many thanks,
Kevin.
Hello I’m Jezebel, I just came across this site today and must say that I really like it. I was hoping I could also have membership for my own blog ‘The Trapeze Swinger’ where I write about my mental illness and trauma issues.

I’m currently 24yrs 10mos sober, a former leader of Celebrate Recovery and as well as more traditional addictions groups, and just qualified, was accepted as a singer within a newly formed Sweet Adelines group as well as serving on the historical society of the town where I was incested and abused

I hope to join you soon, and respectfully request membership.

Thank you, Kevin;
Of course, I’ve perused yours as well; I’m delighted and honored to be in such searingly honest company.
I regret that I’m a bit technologically challenged; while LiveJournal is in the process of restructuring and the answers might not be so readily known, might someone share how to place the Members logo on my WordPress page? Is there a way of denoting it on Twitter and also may I list membership on my Facebook page?
I’d appreciate technical advice on these issues; as I regret I experience isolation and embarrassment over such, I truly invite others to consider “Friend”ing me as they are comfortable.
Fondly;
Gwen
Dear Gwen,
Many thanks for getting back in touch.
I am afraid I won’t be a great deal of help to you in respect of your questions about the twitter and Facebook questions however.
You are able to follow us on Twitter and the name to search for is MentalHealthWriters or @MentalHealthWG
In respect of Facebook we have a page which is at https://www.facebook.com/MentalHealthWritersGuild or you can search for us there.
In respect of the logo for LiveJournal I am totally unfamiliar with it as a platform so am pretty useless in that regard.
In respect of the logo for WordPress there are instructions on our Guild Members page but if they prove difficult simply email me at kevin.a.deane@gmail.com and I will forward you some very simple instructions that link to the logo on my personal site “Voices of Glass” which will then show up on yours when followed.
Hope that all helps?
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin.

Hello, Kevin and the Mental Health Writers Guild. I am taking up your suggestion and placing a request to join the MHWG.
My blog is “The Secret Keeper” and I am Jennifer Kiley. The link is http://thesecretkeeper.net/ on WordPress.
When I started this blog I felt it was a place where I would be able to be open and honest about who I am. I am out of the closet in all ways possible.
I am an eclectic writer in my posts. At the top over my banner I list the various areas I cover in my posts. I have been in therapy since I was 19 and have a long list of diagnoses, one of which is Bipolar.
I feel it is necessary to talk openly about what I am feeling and how I work with Bipolar and how I work with it being such a central part of my life.
I do not take meds any longer for it. I live with the struggles of the ups and downs. I read Bipolar In Order. I have an extensive knowledge of many forms of Mental Differences.
I prefer to call myself Mentally Brilliant not mentally ill. I don’t feel ill, just different.
I am a strong advocate for talk therapy and alternative treatments. I would like to see medicinal marijuana made available for the treatment of the mood swings in Bipolar. I have been working with my doctor toward trying to get that to happen in my state of Vermont.
Anyway, I digress. I am a writer of various disciplines and I do write about Bipolar and emotions and thoughts. I do not feel stigmatized by any of my diagnoses or have a fear of talking or writing about them.
I am also very direct about and open about my therapy treatments and the positive and negative effects of said treatments.
I hope you decide to accept me into the Mental Health Writers Guild. I would feel very proud to have the ribbon logo appear on the posts of my blog. Please feel free to view anything on my blog you want. Use the search to lead you to what you might be interested in viewing.
Thank you for the opportunity to apply. j.k the secret keeper Jennifer Kiley
I just wrote a long application to request membership in the Mental Health Writers Guild.
For some reason, I believe it may have gone to your spam. I have been having trouble posting anything with a link address within the text.
Please check you spam for my rather extensive application. jk. the secret keeper. Jennifer Kiley
ps.
Bipolar Muse was the person who discovered that this was happening b/c something I wrote to her went to her spam for no particular reason other that I was giving her a link and nomination for Blog of the Year 2012 and The Very Inspiring Blog Award. Thank you.
Hi JK.
I had checked the spam folder and your original message had indeed gone there but I am quite used to the fact that this happens from time to time and so regularly sift through the spam folder just in case it has happened. And having found your original message I simply rescued and approved it.
In terms of your blog joining the guild, being already familiar with your work, I am more than happy to include your blog “the secret keeper” on our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂

Thank you so much Kevin. I feel honoured by being accepted and included in the membership of the Mental Health Writer’s Guild. Thank you for finding my comment with the request application. Will have to work it out with wordpress why that is happening. I do understand the need for privacy and anonymity for those who do not want to be out. So, The Secret Keeper is the “Member” not moi. Totally understand. Mental Health has been something I’ve worked on the majority of my adult life and still continue to work on. It feels good to be connected. I’ve met many people through doing my blog that makes me feel less alone living inside of my head and emotions. So, I thank you once again for your acceptance. Looking forward to new year and checking out the challenges. For the rest of this month and year I have the rest of the year of haiku every day. But I always manage to find something else I want to blog along with the challenge. I know where to reach you. Peace and many Kind Regards. jk

Hi Emma,
Many thanks for getting in touch concerning membership of guild, unfortunately I couldn’t find your blog but if you could send me a link to it and an check it out and then if suitable (which I am sure it will be) I will include it into membership.
Kind Regards and God bless you
Kevin
I do apologise, i forgot to update my profile.
http://mintedmoose87.wordpress.com
Sorry about that xXx
Hi Minted,
Really glad to hear from you concerning joining the guild and please accept my apologies for the delayed response. I am still fighting this darned flu 🙂
I have this morning popped across to your site, and I am more than happy to include your blog “My Life, My Way, My Words!” on our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the blog and not the blogger. The only way that this is relevant is that it means that should you have or start a second or further blogs membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
First and foremost, thank you for creating this Guild in the WordPress community!
MintedMoose’s last blog post pointed me in your direction and I’m very thankful that it did. I started the MelancholyUnrest blog to have a place to track my thoughts and share my experiences with others as I learn about mental health, and more specifically anxiety and depression. With that being said, I would like to be considered for membership if my blog fits your requirements.
Thanks again,
MU

I live with bi-polar and dissociative disorder, and interesting mix. I started my blog at
http://livingbipolarlife.wordpress.com/ just this year.
This is about me, the disease and the way in which affects dialy life.
My family supports me in ways I can not be thankful enough for. They have watched me go through highs and lows.
For 2013 I reach out to others, who want to go with me on my journey. Many made resolutions about writing out their days (the 365 day notes), well this mine.
Hi Living,
Many thanks for getting in touch 🙂
I am assuming that you would like for your blog “Living The Bipolar Life” to be included into membership of the guild but can’t see where you actually said so, perhaps I have missed something and if so please accept my apologies.
Working on the assumption that you did want for “Living the Bipolar Life” to be included I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your blog and I am more than happy to include your blog “Living the Bipolar Life” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome! If I have assumed wrongly and you didn’t want to become a member, then please accept my apologies and just let me know and I will remove it from out list.

Thank you. I should have been clearer. I most certainly wanted to become a member. I firmly believe that by standing up for yourself. To speak out about living with any type of mental illness is the only way the stigma can disapate in our society.
Hi Living,
Not a problem. Just glad to have it cleared up and welcome into membership.
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hi Kevin,
I’d like to apply for the inclusion of my blog, “Life in Little Words” (lifeinlittlewords.wordpress.com) in the guild. I’m writing about my life as a graduate student living with schizophrenia and feel like it might be a valuable read for other individuals with mental illness who are trying to defy the stigma that surrounds us, and for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Thanks,
L. S.

Thanks for your inclusion of my blog into the guild
Hello again…I went over to guild member page and didn’t notice my blog listed….maybe too soon..Should new members wait for the 2013 logo to become available?
Hi Gerald,
Not sure what happened there, so apologies for that. I definitely did add your blog to the list but it must not have saved properly. It is at times like this when you sit back and wonder if your mental health isn’t starting to decline again and you never actually did it. But fortunately when I went to re-enter you blog link it automatically came up with the address – telling me that I had indeed done it and it just messed up on wordpress’s end.
In respect of the guild logo, again I am not sure what is happening. The logo displayed on guild members page on my screen is the current logo and says 2013 member. Does yours say something different?
The position with the membership logo is that whilst I had designed one and adapted it for the next five years, one of our members also designed one and I am quite happy to use the newly designed one but am waiting for that member to get back to me about it before I can go ahead and use it. So my suggestion is that you can choose which way you want to go with it, you can either go ahead and use the one that is currently displayed or wait a little while and see if it changes.
I really do like to encourage member participation and so really would like to use the one that one of our members designed but can’t until (I have heard back from them. So my apologies for the delay in this but it is beyond my control at this time.
Hope that all helps and apologies again for the mix up in your site’s inclusion on our list.
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin.
Hello– I am so, so, so glad I found this. I would like to apply for the inclusion of my blog in the guild. My blog site is (“Insanity of My Brain”) http://www.sheeki86.wordpress.com
My blog is mainly poems; solely about me, my denial, various causes, things I have gone through while dealing with Major Depression, as well as accepting I also have Bipolar Type I disorder. I truly believe with my unique way of writing people will not only be able to fully understand my pain but also fully understand what it took for me to get help. While I still suffer from those things I have put away my horrible vices for more positive ways to deal with mental illness. Furthermore, through my own experiences I want people to see they can still be successful while managing mental illness. As you read my blog you will see it has been a long trying road but I somehow made it through. 🙂
Thank You for your consideration.

Hi, my blog is full of personal writings about several different topics, but I have been trying to include insightful and informative posts about my depression and anxiety. my blog is called As we seek, so shall we find, and you can access it at writermags.com. My most recent post (not even an hour old) is something I have been mulling over for a week, but was spurred into action in the wake of yet another high-profile suicide. My writing on depression seeks to inform people of the struggles people with this disease face, and aims to make them understand that we are suffering from a disease that is treatable, but for which there is no cure. Much of it is my own personal experience, but some is informative as well. I plan on using my blog as a platform for depression awareness and suicide prevention more and more, as I am becoming more aware of how large the problem is. So I am definitely interested in joining the guild and I welcome you to check out my site!
Thank you!

I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your blog and I am more than happy to include your blog “RootsB4Branches” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the blog and not the blogger. The only way that this is relevant is that it means that should you have or start a second or further blogs membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

My blog, Reality Hide and Seek, http://realityhideseek.blogspot.com/ addresses mainly bipolar disorder and positive ways of dealing with mental illness. I also touch on domestic violence, and throw in some baking and recipe posts as well since that is an integral part of my mental well-being.
Hi Sheri,
Many thanks for getting in touch 🙂
I must admit to being a little confused. Please forgive me but I am not always ‘with it’ mentally. Would you like to become a member of the Guild?
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin.
Yes, I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear!
What an excellent group this is. I am, like many of the folks above, new to the blog writing world. I have several posts so far on my various issues with mental illess, and have some posts in the works that will discuss chronic depression (from which I suffer) and a few other mental health type issues in more detail.
My blog is located at lifebefore40.wordpress.com. Please consider me for membership.

thanks a lot!
Hello, I would very much like to become a member of this worthwhile Guild. I battled with depression, brought on by stress, for 10 years. During that time, I made many mistakes, due in no small part to the fact that I perceived my illness as a failing on my part. It took me a long time, coupled with hindsight, to realise that I hadn’t failed in my life, but rather that the circumstance of my life had failed me. I started my blog to bring hope to those currently suffering from the debilitating effects of depression that there is light at the end of what may seem like an unending tunnel. It has been quite a ride!

You mentioned in your comment that you would like me to consider your books, and I may well do that at some point in the future as I love to read and am very keen on Mental Health Awareness as I am sure you have no doubt guessed by now.
In respect of your blog “Karen’s Blog” and it becoming a member of the guild I am more than happy for that to happen but should perhaps mention that generally speaking we don’t promote books via this site. LOL I don’t even promote my own books here as that is not the purpose of the site.

Hi Kevin,
We have dissociative identity disorder and have written several blogs. The two I would like you to consider are http://annsmultipleworldofpersonality.blogspot.com/ and http://newsdidmpd.blogspot.com/#bn-forum-1-1-7577090/9231. The second blog we’re bringing up to date. I would be honored for these two blogs to be viewed. Primarily we are a multiple who supports Multiples who blog. The first site is our day to day blog where we write of what’s happening in our life and might be helpful to others because we’ve been working through multiplicity especially in therapy for the last 23 years. The second site we hope to connect to multiples’ blogs curating thoughts and feelings that would be beneficial and validating to others multiple or single.
Thanks for the consideration.

Hello there!
My name is Sam(antha) and I blog about my schizoaffective disorder. This is a great way to be able to connect with other mental health bloggers and I would adore being a part of this. I can be very comical, but I like to think I shed light on the subject matter, not make light of it. I’ve also been told by dissenters that it’s a little graphic, but then they add it’s well written so its a mixed bag.
I do so hope you like it!

Hello,
I go by the name Topaz, and my blog is about my experiences dealing with mental illness (bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts) as a faithful Catholic.
My posts are positive and offer hope to those who are also suffering from various mental illnesses. I usually introduce a topic and then add an inspirational spin on it; I believe readers should always leave my blog encouraged and hopeful.
Since I blog from personal experience, I sometimes include topics that tend to frustrate and discourage me — “triggers” that would normally put me in a tail spin.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hello,
I blog under the name of songtothesirens on the subjects of Manic-Depression, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety disorder with/without Agoraphobia, and Adult ADD. My blog is a place for me to explore my illnesses, offer encouragement to others that may be suffering with the same issue(s), and to inform the public at large that people with what I like to call mental “interestingness” are not the violent, “crazy” people that are typically represented as mentally ill. It is my strong desire to be part of a movement to remove the secrecy, shame and stigma that surrounds mental health.
My blog is “A Bipolar Journey Through The Rabbit Hole ~ The journey from madness to a stable madness: one manic depressive’s story” and can be found at:

Kevin
Kevin,
I thank you for taking the time to look at my blog, and am pleased to be included in your group. I think that the more the subject of mental health is discussed openly, the less scary it seems to “outsiders.”
My mother took the NAMI Family to Family classes a few years ago upon my being diagnosed with Manic Depression in order to understand what mental “illness” is like for the person who has the diagnosis as well as how to cope as a caregiver. I applaud her for that. If more people took an interest in learning about mental health issues, I am certain the world would be kinder and gentler place for us to live.
While I do blog under a pen name, I have found that blogging has put me in touch with so many amazing people also living with their own manifestations of mental issue(s), I have become inspired to “come out” publically and say that, yes, I struggle daily with x,y, and z. Interestingly, when I do share with someone, I discover they either struggle themselves secretly or they know people who do.
However, I do understand the stigma associated with mental health issues and why some people would rather be anonymous. I didn’t start this journey until I had been diagnosed for about 7 years and had probably been displaying symptoms since my late teens. I was diagnosed fairly late at the age of about 32. I am 42 now, and I decided about two years ago that I would start a blog to help myself explore the subject, and to help others understand that people who are mentally interesting are not scary and “crazy.” We are just different from them as all people are different from one another. We just happen to be more interesting 🙂
I look forward to reading more of your blog. While I have known many schizophrenics, I have not had the chance to meet one so open about it. Generally, I have met people with schizophrenia in a hospital setting and they generally keep to themselves.
Be well and gentle to yourself,
Song
Hi Song,
The current thinking in respect of my diagnosis is schizo-affective disorder which is kind of like a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
I should perhaps explain that I live in Ireland and under the mental health care provision here you don’t always see the same psychiatrist and even when you do they seem totally reluctant to pin the tail on the mental health donkey’s butt so to speak and give definite diagnosis. It is very frustrating and I have had several varying diagnoses over the years and in truth whilst the main ones seem to vary only slightly whilst remaining a variation of a theme, the psych’s focus seems to vary from psych to psych and according to which one seems more prominent around the time of my appointment. Which is understandable I guess although somewhat frustrating as well.
I understand completely what you said about the stigma and indeed your decision to keep it private until a couple of years ago and I am pleased that you understand folk’s need for anonymity. Personally, and I am sure you agree with this, I take the approach that since I am not the one living someone else’s life I must respect their with to remain anonymous.
As for my own mental health issues presenting themselves, this happened in my childhood although I don’t recall a lot of my earlier childhood and so cannot be sure whether they actually started in early childhood or from birth. My parents did send me to a psych when I was a child and there was often talk about my “not being normal” but no specific diagnosis other than my being “rebellious”, “troubled” or “a difficult child” was given until much later in life.
But then I am now 51 and in those days – when I was a child – our understanding of mental health was much different and children with mental health issues we “sent away” especially in the kind of family I grew up in. SO I soon learned to keep the voices or at least their presence hidden if not always the resultant behavior of them hidden. Hence the “rebellious”, “troubled” and “a difficult child” labels.
Due to physical health issues that I face my time at the computer is more limited now and I am in the process of publishing some books which of course have to take first priority when it comes to my computer time. So because of that my time posting stuff to the guild or my own blogs has suffered a little but hopefully that will change soon.
Great to have you as part of the guild.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Thank you very much. I am happy to be a part of this!

Having been a “frequent flyer” at what I believe is our city’s only remaining mental health facility, I have met people with all manner of diagnoses. The psychiatrists, who also keep office hours, take turns weekly on the ward. If you are lucky, you get one of the good ones whose focus is accurate diagnosis and treatment. It is kind of like a merry-go-round, or a game where you spin a wheel to win “prizes”; the main one being a good doctor. I have met people with schizoaffective disorder, and while they are in an active phase of the illness they can be quite “scary” to someone who is, say, suffering from Unipolar depression which is common and not as “serious” an illness as bipolar or schizophrenia. Although I did write a post on whether Bipolar is the “new” depression because it seems like here in the States, more and more people are being diagnosed with bipolar when I think they have Major Depressive Disorder with periods of remission where they report increased energy, not sleeping as much, and periods of feeling as if they can focus more easily and they get a lot done. To me, that is remission of chronic depression which I have suffered all my life. I only became bipolar in my late teens or early 20’s which is when my therapist suspects onset of symptoms based on my speaking with her about that time in my life.
I, too, was an “odd” child as the adults liked to call me, and I, (un)fortunately can recall most of my childhood although I can’t remember my father until I was about 7 years of age. That was when my mother returned to school for her Law degree, and my father had to take a more active roll in the family. I do remember the first time I saw a therapist for depression. I was having problems in school, and was called to a meeting with the school principal and my parents. It was then that they realized I was not so “odd” after all. I was severely and chronically depressed, and had been for quite some time. So, off to the doctor I go. She did not help me one bit. However, that may have been my fault as I had no desire to go. Fast forward four years, once again I was severely depressed, and this one went on for two years. Off again to a doctor that I did not want to see. I have to applaud my parents, though. They did sincerely try to get me help. I was just at an age where I didn’t understand that this was not normal pre-pubescent and pubescent behavior. It was all I had ever known, so I thought it was normal.
I have been diagnosed with everything from depression to narcissistic personality disorder to borderline personality disorder. And, in there, my current therapist of 10 years actually thought to listen to me, and realized that for about 10 to 15 years of my life, I hadn’t been merely depressed. I had also experienced a number of what were back then hypomanias. Since bipolar, and I would assume so is schizoaffective disorder, is progressive without early intervention, I developed full-blown Bipolar I with my fun little psychotic tendencies. I think it is the “psychotic” part of my diagnosis that throws people off when I talk about my mental issues. Many people think that “psychotic” means dangerous to others when, in fact, it is mostly dangerous to the patient. Although, people can become violent while psychotic. I, myself, seem to dissociate when I am psychotic, and get a third person view, so I know when I have become psychotic. I end up asking people weird questions about what is real and what is not, and they look at me strange, but that’s okay. People have always thought that I was strange.
You absolutely nailed the reason why I would never “out” somebody. Although, I am highly tuned to the mental illness of another person (I can pick out other Bipolar’s almost immediately upon meeting them), I do not live their life, and, therefore do not have the right. There may be reasons why, other than stigma, that they keep their inner lives private. I did so for years and years so I would “fit in” with the other kids until I hit college, and there everyone was strange or odd in their own way.
It was the first time I fit anywhere, although the crushing diagnoses didn’t come until much later. PTSD came first (sometime in my mid-20s), anxiety disorder was second, and Bipolar I was the last in my early 30s. However, at least, knowing what is “wrong” with me I can attack it with education, therapy, medication and a strong spiritual faith in Buddhism. It is my great hope that someday people in this country and others will be able to talk about mental illness as easily as physical ailments are talked about, and there will be no stigma associated with mental health because, quite frankly, there is a reason why the DSM 5 is so thick. Everybody’s “nuts.”
Nicely put!
I work as a clinical psychologist and both have a personal blog and a pure mental health blog that I would like to share with the world. I am also looking for guest bloggers who have personal experiences with psychological problems.

Hi mirrorgirl,
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding your site “Free psychology” and apologies for having taken a little while to get back to you. I have been unwell.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your blog and I am more than happy to include your blog “Free psychology” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the blog and not the blogger. The only way that this is relevant is that it means that should you have or start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hello. I blog at Help To Hope. http://helptohopeblog.net/
While I have dealt with depression and dysthymia myself, the main focus of my blog recounts my story as a mom with a suicidally depressed teen daughter and the journey of supporting her and helping her find appropriate treatment.
I believe strongly in challenging the stigma associated with mental health issues, and I have a particular soft spot for parents of adolescents who are in mental health crisis. I hate the thought of other parents being as scared and unknowledgeable as I was, feeling alone, guilty, hopeless, and lost.
I hope to encourage both those who deal with mental heath issues and those who support them that they are not alone.
Thanks for your consideration,
Monica

Thank you Kevin. I appreciate being able to join with you. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. I hope you’re feeling better now. I have one question about putting the logo on my site – the post describing how to do it ls for the logo for the year 2012 as is the logo on this site. How do I change it to read 2014? I’d like to be current with my membership. Is there a way to tweak the link to allow it to say 2014? Or is there another way? I’m not a hotshot when it comes to code so I hope it’s a simple fix… 😉
Thanks for your help,
Steve
Sorry about bothering you with this. Just ignore it…. I just found what I’m looking for on the blogroll page. I’m copying it to my site now. Thanks.

Hi there. This is Tom (aka Berserker). The name is not anything inflamatory. My friend nicknamed me Berserker when I was a highly akward teenager and it just sort of stuck for the last fourteen years. I’m interested in applying for membership. I mostly use my blog as a cathartic vehicle, but also because I firmly believe we can all gain insight from one another’s experiences. I’ve made it this far and I want to do all I can to give hope to those who suffer in the same fire as I.
I don’t really quite know how to articulate what I’m trying to say here, so bear with me. I barely survived my twenties. If I wasn’t profoundly manic or agitated I was probably hiding out in my apartment steadily losing the will to live. Or doing something risky and stupid and exciting. Probably dangerous as well. Like a moth to a flame.
The rest of my history, while probably a tad entertaining is a tad irrelevant at the moment. I’m forcing myself to stay on task here and not ramble as my ADHD med has worn off for the day.
I’m still here because I had a few people along the way who smiled, hugged me and told me it would be alright. Beautiful, gentle troubled souls. One of whom is no longer among us (RIP). I owe it to them to endure and help others to do the same.
My page I submit is just a basic wordpress blog, though I like to think I give it a bit of character.

Hello! I have been writing about my life with Asperger’s Syndrome at the blog “Eyes Through the Glass”. (http://www.eyesthroughtheglass.com).
As a self-advocate, I am interested in informing people about what life with Asperger’s is like and share some of my personal experiences.
I am interested, if possible, in becoming a Guild Member. I would like to open a dialog with other mental health bloggers regarding my experience.

I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your blog and I am more than happy to include your blog “Eyes Through The Glass” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the blog and not the blogger. The only way that this is relevant is that it means that should you have or start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.wordpress.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

I would love to be a member of your guild. I have just started blogging so I am not too sure how this works. I am a writer and a sufferer of Bipolar 1 disorder. I have written a book about my experiences, and I am presently reaching out to others who share my illness to find out what their stories are. I see that your site is very busy but I think I could contribute something to your fellow bloggers. I am working on my blog page at http://kkestebo.wordpress.com. I hope to hear from you.

Hi Kevin,
I’ve only recently started writing my blog (quietcalliope.wordpress.com) but am interested in becoming a member of the Mental Health Writers Guild – I’ve suffered from recurring depressive episodes for most of my life, and for years it simply wasn’t something I ever talked about, so my blog is my way of finally giving myself a voice. My posts aren’t all necessarily about mental health per se but I’m taking a creative approach to my own wellbeing (including writing my blog!), and so all posts will be related in some way to my ongoing journey. I had no idea when I started my blog that there was such a huge blogging community out there and am keen to get to ‘know’ more bloggers with a similar experience to my own!
Many thanks for your consideration…

Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much for adding me to the Guild! I have put the logo on my front page, with a link to this site 🙂 I just tried to click on the link to my blog, Life in a Bind, from the Guild Members page, and it goes to an error page -I think there is an extra ‘http’ at the end of the address, which shouldn’t be there. I’d be really grateful if you could take a look when you have a moment – thank you so much! Life In a Bind
Hi,
Please accept my apologies for this, and please know that your link has now been repaired.
I think what happened is that when you add a link in wordpress it automatically places the http:// part in there for you and since I am generally copying and pasting links in from bloggers sites I have to highlight and paste over that part and simply did it wrong this time.
Really glad you checked it out and again my apologies for having messed it up the first time.
Kind regards and God bless.
Kevin
Hi, no worries Kevin and thank you so much for fixing it so quickly! Take care, Life in a Bind

I hadn’t realised that such writing communities existed, but I’m glad that I do now.
I’ve just started a blog called The Schizoid and the Cat. It’s about me, an Englishman with SPD and my pet cat, who’s a Sphynx, and the problems and obstacles in life that we have to put up with.
http://tsc-pb.blogspot.de/
It would be nice if you could maybe check it out and give it a thumbs up or down to joining this community.
Many thanks and greetings from Germany.

Thank you. I must though say that between my request and your acceptance, I jumped ship and headed away from blogger and onto WordPress.
The blog is the same, but the url is different. Heres the new one.
http://schizoid-cat.org/ for you.
Many thanks once again for the acceptance of The Schizoid and the Cat.
Hi Rob,
Not a problem. I have changed the url on the link.
Kind regards and God bless.

Hi Kevin,
I am one of the ‘few shaggy’ ones from Africa out on the blogsphere being this daring and soul searching. Helas, the one who even caused me to venture out here, my only brother who had for 18 out of a 33 yr existence suffered from mental illness, gave it up last saturday. I am no exception though, although I am yet to get to the bottom of my own issues before they get me. I attempted suicide once and did lots of stuff. I leave you to visit my blog and hope to be granted membership of the guild. Yours truly, Marie Abanga

Greetings!
I am writing to request acceptance into The Mental Health Writers Guild. I have been diagnosed with BPD and my blog’s purpose is to raise awareness of mental illness in the context of my own. I also hold a degree in neuroscience and I incorporate many scientific articles and concepts into my blog posts to provide evidence that it is indeed “all in our heads” because that is where our brain is and mental illnesses are disorders of the brain. Please feel free to visit my blog at your leisure at farewelltodaylight.com. I appreciate your time.
Best wishes,
Dana
Hi Dana,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “Farewell To Daylight”.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited the site and I am more than happy to include the site “Farewell To Daylight” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Guild membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site and,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.wordpress.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Thank you!
Hi Kevin:
I would be so pleased if you would accept my blog into your membership. I have had “Living in Stigma” http://cherished79.wordpress.com since 2007 which was all started to help educate people about mental illness stigma. My stats are @ about 375,000 at the moment, so I’ve at least sent the word out to some people.
I just started a new blog, dedicated to PTSD, called “Facing the Predator”.
Only interested in the Guild membership for my main blog. Please feel free to visit, and I thank you for your time.
Cheers!
Deb

Hi Kevin! — It’s LaVancia Phoenix! I was so excited to finally figure out what this guild was about. I didn’t know you could just click on the icon and come to this page until I recently visited a website that had underneath the icon a statement saying to click on here to learn more or something like that. I had no idea it is all voluntary and yes, I would love to join in. My website is http://www.rebirthofsanity.com and I’m working on writing my autobiography about my illness and recovery from schizophrenia. Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless, LaVancia

Hi Kevin, I found this community from a member of your guild and I really love what you guys are doing and hence, I would like to join this club to widen our reach and contribution to the world but I am not sure if my site is actually relevant because of the wide perspective of what Mental Health is.
My site is mostly about helping people with Self-Esteem/Confidence and social issues, bringing out their inner potential to excel in their life. You can you can find it here at http://www.doubleyourpresence.com
Would love to hear from you on my application to your community and of course, regardless if I get in or not, I hope your team and yourself continue to flourish in your cause. It is a commendable one and I wish you guys all the best!

Just discovered this site. What a wonderful place to connect those who write about mental health. For the last few years I have been writing counselorssoapbox.com a blog devoted to the topics of mental health, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. I am a strong believer in the concepts of wellness and recovery. So many people have told me about their own personal recovery from life’s issues. Please take a look at counselorssoapbox.com and I would be delighted if you would include me among the members of the mental health writer’s guild. David Joel Miller

I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited the site and I am more than happy to include the site “itscridibaslife” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Guild membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Guild membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.wordpress.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Good Afternoon,
I have recently (okay, yesterday) started a blog, Even at Your Darkest. After getting out of the hospital last year I found it disconcerting there were no support groups for self-harm/depression. Luckily, I found a lovely therapist and have amazing friends and family. What about those who don’t? I want to start a support group and have been studying ways to do so. Duh, I love to write, I should start a blog and offer a place people can be completely honest and feel like they are not alone.
I would love to be part of this community. Shining light on the darkness is crucial.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
-Tara

Hi!
I’d really like to become a member of this guild. I write about my struggles with Depression (which I’ve nicknamed Rontu), and what it’s like dealing with Depression as an expat. I consider myself an Optimistic Depressive as even at the worst of times I’ve been able to be optimistic about the future and try to find the silver linings.
I’m so glad I found this page! I look forward to hearing from you.
-I’m one of those people who is still anonymous…working on that 🙂
Hi rucksackrubble,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “theoptimisticdepressive”. Please accept my apologies for the delayed response but I am currently fighting though another bout of illness. Thankfully I think that I am now coming out of the other side of it. 🙂

Hi Kevin!
Thank you so much. I should have included the link to my blog. I’m new the WordPress community and thought it would link to my more active account. The one linked above was a site name I decided not to use for now. The site where I am blogging regularly is: https://rubbleinmyrucksack.wordpress.com/
Thank you!
Hey rucksackrubble,
I have added the new site link for you 🙂
Hope that is ok?
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Thanks Kevin, that’s great! Have a nice evening 🙂
Hi Kevin,
My name is Christopher, a sufferer and survivor of a very rare and misunderstood condition – Chronic Depersonalization and Derealization. Whilst this condition is quite common within the psychiatric community (secondary to other conditions or when one has “transient episodes”) it is quite rare that someone (like myself) has the condition as a primary (Chronic) condition. I maintain a blog entitled “MyDepersonalizationExperience.com” (run on WordPress – I purchased the domain name) which has a menu offering resources for fellow sufferers (books, links, theories, treatment options, contact info, pictures, and more). It also offers insight on the medication mismanagement involved in me “inheriting” this condition. I blog often, as often as I can, on various topics involving Mental Health, Medications, etc. Most of which are about new articles on Mental Health or my life as it relates to Mental Health and my illness. I would like to be a member of the Guild, and hope to have a positive impact on others lives via my blog and constructive debate and discussion.
Thank you for your response via email.
Christopher

Hello,
I was just recently awarded the Warrior Child Award by a Guild member, Laura from BipolarForLife. She also suggested that I might want to become a member of the guild. I don’t know if this is the right time or not to do that. The award was not only a touching honor, but it also has served as a push to get back to writing my blog. I’ve been blogging about my mixed media and jewelry making, plus a few other things, but as I explained in my latest post, I am going to focus more on how creating helps with my depression/mental health as well as my chronic pain/health issues. Perhaps you would prefer to wait to add my blog until I have more posts focusing on this?
I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts…
Peace to your heart, Sara Windsor

Hello,
I would like to request becoming a member of the guild. I was referred to the guild by “Daily Post” host, Michelle Weber. My blog includes a lot of positivity in general as well as helpful happiness strategies. I am a fighter of mental illness myself, and my blog is dedicated to helping others like myself not just recover, but flourish. I have already received messages from mental illness fighters telling me my information has been very helpful, and I really want my insights to get out there for those struggling, or anyone wishing to achieve greater mental wellbeing. I look forward to your feedback!
All the best,
Kimberly.
Hi Kimberly,

Hi Kevin. I would like to request that my blog be added to your guild. My son is diagnosed with a mental illness and I have been writing about my journey (and his) for the past 2 years. My blog is: http://schizophreniamomsjourney.blogspot.ca/
Thank you.
Hi BarbieBF,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “Schizophrenia – Mom’s Journey”. As someone who is diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder (although I am considerably older than your son) I am personally delighted that you are going to be part of the Guild.

I’m interested in joining the Guild. I’ve been writing about addiction and recovery (certainly mental health-related issues) for fifteen-plus years in one venue or another.
My personal page/blog is http://whatmesober.com/.

Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Guild membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Guild membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me here or through one of my personal blogs, http://www.VoicesofGlass.wordpress.com and again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hi there,
I’ve been blogging for a while but only recently decided to focus on mental health. I know Love Yourself Again still contains a mish-mash of different things, but I’d like you to take a look and see if it’s worthy to become a member of the Mental Health Writers Guild.
Cheers,
C.
Uh-oh. I don’t think my link is working properly. Here’s the web address for my blog: http://www.loveyourselfagain.com
Hi,
Not a problem. I think the link I have used is the correct one.
Many thanks for letting me know.

HI
I would love to be included in your guild and would be honoured to be considered.
Thank you
Hi itsgoodtobecrazysometimes,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site. I have this morning added your site to our list of guild members but must admit to being little confused and very much need your help to make sure that I haven’t messed up your listing in our guild members list.
When I visited your site. it’s header shows a text image with the words “My Crazy Life” and under this are the words “itsgoodtobecrazysometimes”. So I am not sure which one of those is the actual title of your blog. Could you let me know if it is “My Crazy Life” or “itsgoodtobecrazysoemtimes”? Or is it (which of course is a third possibility) “My Crazy Life – itsgoodtobecrazysometimes”?
At present I have entered your blog on the list under the title “itsgoodtobecrazysometimes” but if this is wrong, please let me know and I will change it. And of course, please accept my apologies for getting it wrong if I have.
But working on the possibility that I have got it right – here is the standard welcome information….

Hi and thank you so much for accepting me into you guild. The title of my blog is its good to be crazy sometimes
Hello
My name is Brenda-Jane Kerr and I am a police officer in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I’ve taken the bold step of going public with my mental health challenges. I went media public in October 2014 with two other officers and as you may well imagine this is a topic that is plagued with stigma…. after all, we help other and tough guys like us don’t need help ourselves.
In January 2015, I launched a blog website because I found that it was one thing for me to go public and learn firsthand that I am not alone, but it’s another for me to also act like I’m not alone.
I’ve found this guild while reviewing another website: This is a Depression Blog, because I think it’s important to network with others taking part in the great cause of promoting discussion and bashing stigma around mental health.
All of that said, I hope you’ll accept me as a member of the Mental Health Writer’s Guild.
My site is: http://www.AlteredBadge.ca
Be well,
Brenda

Hi boldkevin,
My name is Chris and I have lived with clinical depression since around middle school. On 9/14/14 I attempted suicide. I emailed about acceptance into the guild a couple weeks ago, but it may have gone to the Spam folder. The posts I would like you to view are “My Story” and “Specter”. Specter is the personification of my depression.
Thank you for your consideration, sir. And thank you for what you have done for folks by creating this site.
-Chris
Hi Chris,
It seems that I owe you an apology as there has been a breakdown in communication somewhere along the line.
I did indeed get your email concerning membership of the guild and I did respond to it and also include your site on our member’s list at that same time. Both of these happening (my receiving your email and my responding to it) on March 16th 2015.
Whilst it is true that I don’t always remember things too clearly I remember vividly my visiting and checking your blog, reading the posts that you suggested and indeed double checking that I had typed the word specter properly when inserting your site onto the member’s list. (I am English and live in Ireland and our spellings often differ)
So please accept my apologies for this breakdown in communication, and please be assured that your site does appear on our members list. (I also double checked that earlier this morning.)
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin.
So I am really not sure what went wrong there. Perhaps my response is in your spam folder? I have this morning just forwarded you a copy of that response so that you have it.
Thanks Kevin! No apology needed. I appreciate your diligence and apologize for the added confusion I created on my part. I am looking forward to contributing however you see fit and becoming an involved member of the guild.
Cheers, my friend across the pond.
-Chris
Hi Chris,
Just glad that the matter is resolved 🙂 All members – whether they have been a member for a long time or are just in the process of joining – are important and valued and it is very important that I demonstrate that in all my communications.
In terms of your contributing, please feel free to write a guest post for the guild and to email it to me. I try to encourage members to send guest posts and will try to post them when I feel it is the right time. (I am always mindful of not flooding member’s inboxes).
Again, I am really pleased that you have joined the guild and that everything is resolved.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin.

You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Guild membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Guild membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hello, my name is Zoé, aka Cherokee Doll, and I write the blog ‘Gathering the Pieces of Me’ at https://zoerising.wordpress.com/. It is a therapeutic and hopefully sometimes educational exploration of my own mental health issues from abuse and depression, to Dissociative Identity Disorder, and my gender journey as a transwoman of colour. I would love to join the guild, if you consider my blog as fitting in.
Thank you!
– Zoé Grey

Hi,
I’m Cassie, I’ve seen the logo in other blogs for a long time, and I’ve always wanted my blog to be considered as a blog that will provide, inspire and other people when it comes to mental health.
I just started my blog months ago, and I want it to grow and to provide information, make people understand how our mind reacts to stress, trauma, or other diseases like Schizophrenia, and more.
To be honest, I’m anxious, that my blog might not qualify. If it doesn’t it’s okay, I will keep working on my blog to mold it into something I envisioned it.
Thank you for your time, and more power to your site. I believe that what you’ve done is great and helpful to the society and especially to those who are mentally ill. God bless.
Best Regards,
Cassie

No problem at all. Since I am systematically working through my backlog of messages I had just added your blogger blog address but have now deleted that entry and added your WordPress address. So please ignore my response to your previous comment and please accept my apologies for any confusion.

Hi there!
I’ve just come across this here community; what a fantastic list of mental health blogs. I would love the opportunity to become a member of the Guild. My blog is a mixture of topics but I’m recently focusing on mental health awareness and speaking about my issues,
My blog is at http://lifeinsidethelocket.blogspot.co.uk
Warmest regards,
Lucy
Hi Lucy,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “Life inside the Locket”.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited the site and I am more than happy to include the site “Life inside the Locket” in our Guild Members list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, membership to the Guild is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Guild membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Guild membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, membership of the Guild does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.

I started a blog related to mental health and would love to be part of the mental health writer’s guild. Emerging content will continue to have a mental health focus with an aim towards awareness, skills, and reflection.

Hello Kevin!
This is LaVancia Phoenix.
I can’t believe I didn’t think to update my membership. My website, http://www.rebirthofsanity.com, still has the 2014 logo on it and here it is almost 2016! Well I could list off some excuses, but I’ll spare you from the boring defense because there just is no excuse…except that time doesn’t seem to move slow any longer. Anyways, when you get a chance, would you mind visiting my site again and perhaps allowing me back into the Guild?
I’d also need to know how to copy and paste the new logo on my website. Oh, by the way, my smoking cessation has ended once again … up in smoke (excuse the pun) LOL… Oh well, I know I’m not perfect. Hope to hear from you soon!
God Bless,
LaVancia Phoenix
Hi LaVancia,
Firstly my apologies for the delayed response. I am unwell at the moment and so am not on line as much as usual.
In terms of letting your blog back into the guild, since I had no recollection of ever removing it from the list of members (not that having no recollection is always a guarantee with the way my memory works sometimes) I checked and your blog/site is still a member and has never been removed from membership. So no worries there whatsoever I am happy to say.
In terms of getting the current logo onto your blog the way WordPress works makes it extremely difficult to offer instructions via comments. Because of this (and I hope you won’t my me doing so) I have emailed instructions to you at the email address which accompanies your comment.
This email should already be in either your inbox or possibly your spam folder by now but any problems please feel free to let me know.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
I am interested in joining the Mental Health Writers’ Guild and was wondering if you think that my blog would be appropriate for inclusion. http://realadventuresofbecomingme.wordpress.com/
Thanks, and thank you for your contributions toward increasing awareness of mental health and ending stigma.
Cheers,
Lulu
Hi Lulu,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “The Real Adventures of Becoming Me”. And apologies for the delay in my response and indeed the delay in my dealing with this. I have it seems recently been going through one of my smaller episodes where things seem to slip a little and I do not notice until someone draws my attention to it and, having realised or been made aware what is happening, I can start to recover.

Hi Kevin,
So sorry to hear that you’ve been having some difficulties of late. I am glad that you are in the process of recovering. I just had a conversation with someone today who asked me if I would consider myself “recovered” or “in remission” that recovering is sort of the work of living. I am wishing you healing.
Thank you for acceptance into the guild! I am very excited to join your band of writers!
Lulu
Hi there and what a brilliant idea! It’s wonderful that you have set up this blog and the guild of course. I started writing in June and would love to be included in the guild.I write about mental health a lot and have helped people so far, as well as helped myself cope with my own mental health.
This is my blog:
Thank you so much and I will look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes

Hi,
I’d like to apply for the Blog Membership.
I’ve been blogging for a little more than a year, telling the story of my journey with (and through) generalized anxiety. The blog deals with a very complicated period of my life where GAD struck me and with the following recovery journey.
I hope it could be of help for people going through similar experiences, showing how no matter how desperate the situation may feel, healing is possible, as it is getting back to a life that’s more meaningful and deep than it was before anxiety struck.
Here’s the link to the blog: http://www.whitestfly.com
Thanks a lot for your work and effort towards mental health!
Regards,
Whitest Fly
Hi Whitest Fly,
Please see my previous response, and again apologies for the delay in responding.

Hi Kevin, I just found the Guild and I’m very excited to apply as an Author. My work as a consultant (www.lisachapman.com ) has connected me to some very exciting advancements in treating Treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder through my client, Dr. Scott West of http://www.nashvilletms.com . I write the blog (Home page of this site) and social media posts (Facebook, G+ and Twitter). Additionally, I ghost write [Details deleted Guild editor for privacy sake] I believe this is my best mental health writing, but it can’t really be made public that it’s me. However, when you visit Nashvilletms.com, you should find my name at the bottom of the posts, especially most recently. I love that this Guild exists and I would be honored to be a member. Namaste, Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Many thanks for contacting me concerning Author Membership. Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this but I have been unwell and so I am only just now playing catch up with all the things that have slipped during this last period of illness.

So welcome to our happy little band of members.
Kind regards ad God Bless you.

Hi there,
I was submitting for the author membership. I actually started my page as an extension of my work/passion of raising more awareness on mental health and illness. I have loved the supportive folks I have met so far and would love to be a part of this to read up on others’ stories and work as well. It is such an important topic and I would enjoy reaching out to others.
Thank you,

Hi Gabriela,
Many thanks for getting in touch and applying for Author Membership and also for letting me know about your site “The Wellness Worx”. And please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in my getting back to you. I have been unwell and consequently I am now only just at the beginning of playing catch up with all those things that have slipped.
Although you applied for Author Membership because your writing appears to be primarily blog based, which make Blog Membership more suitable. In essence Author Membership was created for those who write about Mental Health but who do not have their own or a blog where the primarily write. So the good news is that I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited the site and I am more than happy to include the site “The Wellness Worx” in our Member Blogs list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, blog membership is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Blog Membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Blog Membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, Blog Membership does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hello Kevin! Thank you so much for getting back with me! I sure hope you are feeling better and back to your old self soon. I appreciate the feedback! I mustve not understood the author membership well, thank you for clarifying. My colleague and I write for a refereed psychiatry journal as our profession and use the blog to reach those who do not have access to our material through the medical system. It is also a way for us to share about mental health with a broader audience and in a more casual setting. Though we appreciate the blogger membership and will definitely keep it in mind, we are seeking mental health groups of mental health authors as well. We truly appreciate your time and God bless for this work you are doing! Such an important topic. Thank you and kind regards,
Gabriela
Hi Kevin,
I am interested in Blog Membership – I am new blogger, day job as a family physician, using blogging as way to navigate the challenges of mental health, with my partner suffering from depression.
As you will discover from my blog, I have become particularly interested in the idea of blogging as ‘therapy’ and I have been inspired to try create a site that faciliates or encourages this, particularly for new bloggers dealing with mental health issues.
The ideas I have aim to complement excellent blogging platforms like WordPress and are not intended to recreate a Mental Health Writers Guild, such as this. Obviously, given your experience with blogging and specifically your dedication to this site over the last 4 years, I would value your involvement and/or collaboration in the final product.

Hi Kevin,
thanks for your reply – wishing you a speedy recovery.
take care
Hello, I would like to apply for blog membership or author membership, whichever you think is most appropriate. My blog is Suicidal No More: Choosing to Live with Schizoaffective Disorder, and has been online since 2005 at http://www.suicidalnomore.com. It is aimed at discussing life with Schizoaffective Disorder (Bipolar Type), and mental illness in general, combatting stigma, providing support, creating awareness, and sharing my story.
I am also the co-author of the book Episodes of Schizophrenia, illustrated by Jessica Leach (my name is Jen Robinson on the book), published by Chipmunka Publishing in 2012. I am also included in the anthology Parts Unbound: Narratives on Mental Illness and Health, published by Limehawk Literary Arts Collective in 2015.
My primary purpose for asking you to list me is to invite more readers to my blog, which is updated at least once every two weeks, and sometimes several times per week, and has been for 10 years.
My story is one of survival through psychosis, suicide attempts, over 20 hospitalizations, and severe depression, along with my journey through recovery, learning how to cope effectively and in healthy ways, getting therapy, taking medications, and getting necessary help through hospitalizations on occasion. I have pages on my blog full of resources for people experiencing mental illness or suicidal ideation, or both. I would love for more people to find my blog.
Thank you very much for your consideration!
Hi Jennifer,
Many thanks for getting in touch concerning Author Membership/Blog Membership and also for letting me know about your site “Suicidal No More”. And please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in my getting back to you. I have been unwell and consequently I am now only just at the beginning of playing catch up with all those things that have slipped.
Actually because you both blog and have written published works offline (which is what the Author Membership was created for – those who write about Mental Health offline) you fall into both categories. So I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just added you to our list of Members Authors and have also just popped over and visited the site and I am more than happy to include the site “Suicidal No More” on our Member Blogs list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂

Hi there, would it be possible to become a blog member? I run a blog named All Mouth, No Spoons – it’s about my life with borderline personality disorder, it’s honest, funny and sometimes sad, but most importantly it’s real. It can be found at http://allmouthnospoons.wordpress.com.
Thank you!

Good day, and thank you for reading my comments. I currently write two blogs, widowsue.wordpress.com, and painoftheempath.wordpress.com. I am a young widow who has been through both the heartache of losing a spouse far too soon, and also becoming a friend with a narcissist who caused a lot of emotional pain on top of what I’m already going through.
My journey has certainly been a bumpy one over the past few years, so my hope is to reach out to others going through difficulties in the hopes of offering some tips to help them along the way, and also to learn from them as well.
I would like to be considered for a Blog Membership for one or both of my sites if you feel they meet the necessary criteria.
Many thanks for your time,
Sue

Hello Kevin, thanks so much for adding me as a member, I appreciate it very much! Hope you are on the road to recovery and I am eager to read the other’s blogs and I hope others will find my musings interesting. Thanks again!
Hello. I became an member in 2015 and understand that membership runs from year to year. I want to be a member for 2016. Here is a link to a sample of my most recent writings on Mental Health. http://robertmgoldstein.com/2016/01/03/dissociative-identity-disorder-and-reality-testing/
Hi Robert,
Firstly apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I have been both unwell and extremely busy and between the two of these factors things have slipped a little.
Yes the logo for this year is now available on the ‘Member Blogs’ page and you can copy it from there and apply it to your site.
I hope that this helps, and again my apologies for the delay.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
I truly understand busy and unwell…I’m pleased that you got back to me. Feel better soon….
Thank you Robert:)
First and foremost I want to apply for blog membership for a blog I co-host. It is Letters to the Mind. It is a community blog project where, rather than doing the writing ourselves, we invite others suffering from mental illness (or family members) to write to their illness, to share their stories in order to grow in personal understanding as well as educating others about what our lives, our inner worlds, look like. Education leads to compassion and understanding. And that is what will help end stigma and remove the taboo nature of these topics which due to that stigma causes isolation and can lead to death.
Here is that link: Letterstothemindblog.wordpress.com
I also do a fair amount of writing and posting on mental health topics on my personal blog and would be interested in exploring either the blog or author membership under that domain.
Here is that link: Memeesmusings.com
regarding all I can be emailed at memeethemuse@gmail.com.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hi Memee The Muse,
Firstly a big apology for the delayed response. I have been unwell and additionally I have been extremely busy of late. Not least of which because of having to play ‘catch up’ with all the things that slipped by the wayside whilst I was unwell. So huge apologies for the delayed response. And also – by way of a ‘just in case’ caveat (if you will) I apologise if my response is a little confused. In truth my mind is still not 100%. So, the above apologies and explanation having been made…
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your sites “Letters To The Mind” and “Memee’s Musings”.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your sites and I am more than happy to include both the “Letters To The Mind” site and the “Memee’s Musings” site in our ‘Member Blogs’ list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!

I knew you had been sick so I was just hoping you were mending. Sounds like you have been. Thank you so much!
Thank you, that is kind of you 🙂
Neither Letters to the Mind nor Memee’s Musings is listed in the current membership log (at least not in alphabetical position) as of 1/30/16 7:30 p.m. pst. I don’t want to post the badge without the matching proof of membership. Thank you.
I am however eager and have been hoping you’d recover and respond.
Memee
Dear Memee’s Musings,
I truly am so very sorry and to be honest I am not sure what happened there. I am totally certain that I added both sites doing so one after each other. I have vivid recollection of loading both sites up then adding ‘Letters to the Mind’ by copying it’s link from the address bar and then doing the same for ‘Memee’s Musings’. I even remember second guessing myself and thus checking that I had the spelling of “Memee’s” correct and that I hadn’t put the double ‘e’ first and the single ‘e’ second. As I didn’t want to cause offence.
All I can think is that I then failed to hit ‘update’ on the page after I had added them, and thus the additions didn’t take. And for this I am truly sorry. I – as a result of being in ‘catch-up’ mode – entered a number of blogs yesterday and now I am not convinced that they all took. So later today I am going to go back and check all of those too.
I have doubled checked that they are now both entered and that the update took this time. But I am also aware that I am not firing on all cylinders still. So please please do check and if I – or my system – have messed it up yet again please, please do let me know straight away. I get so frustrated with myself when I fail to do the simple things that I can normally do by second nature and I truly am sorry.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
It worked that time. Thank you. I hope you don’t have a terrible number to redo. Very frustrating!
Hi Memee,
I am just delighted that it worked this time 🙂
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Oh, and I most definitely want to nominate Sarah Waters. Her blog is Breaking Sarah.
https://breakingsarah.wordpress.com/
Sincerely, Memee
Hi again, Memee The Muse,
Many thanks for nominating Sarah Waters and her site Breaking Sarah for membership, that was very kind of you.
Unfortunately I am not able to progress her membership unless Sarah contacts me and applies for membership. It would, I feel, be disrespectful for me to assign membership to Sarah’s site without her knowledge and consent and I hope that you agree.
That having been said, please be assured that I have visited Sarah’s site – via the link you kindly provided – and would be more than happy to assign membership if Sarah would like to contact me and apply.
I do sincerely hope that you understand and I again apologise for not being able to respond to your request immediately or as you perhaps would have wanted.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
We invite you to join us in visit our Website @ MindingDiversity.org
Please Help Bring Diversity to Mind
To fight stigma of Mental Disorders, we must find a way to reflect on the experience of those who are THRIVING subsequent to seeking treatment, rather than emphasizing those who remain at rock bottom. Stories abound from celebrities, and those who have found gainful employment advocating for mental health; but relatable individuals with long standing careers in other fields must be heard and considered.
Please join us, as we strive to…
1. shed light on the prevalence of mental “disorders” in the workplace;
2. fight the stigma of mental illness;
3. reduce the odds of suicide;
4. give those who struggle hope for the future.
Overcoming the hurdles of stigma requires “baby steps,” which initially steer clear of those very hurdles. By anonymously illuminating mental diversity within the workplace, we can reveal the prevalence of brain differences.
In order to BRING DIVERSITY TO MIND, an anonymous survey has been created; offering individuals an opportunity to choose what they (are comfortable enough to) disclose.
After completing our survey, please ask those you know, who are successfully managing their illness to complete our survey. Invite friends, colleagues, family members, and those you have met (in local support groups, around town, at work, at school, online, or anywhere else you can imagine) to participate and to advocate our mission.
Be Counted!
whoops…please excuse the editing error in the introduction above.
Hi Minding Diversity,
Many thanks for getting in touch concerning your survey.
I did visit your site and I did start the survey that you have put up but after the reading the initial page I did wonder (and was a little confused by) if the survey was specific to mental health and mental illness or to mental health and mental illness within those who are employment. Or whether it also included those who suffer with mental health or mental illness and have been in employment and specific to that time.
And having started the survey it was very apparent that the initial questions at least (I did not venture further than the first page) were specific to those in employment. And whilst it could be that the rest of the questions could well have been more general, the structure of the questions within the first page was such that any answers I gave (to questions such as “Have you informed your company’s HR department that you have a disabilty?” and “Have you revealed your disability to your direct supervisor?” – which only gave yes/no options for responses) would have corrupted your figures as the fact is that I do not work and thus could not have answered either accurately other than to say ‘no’. Which whilst being true is only true because I do not work and thus not accurate in the context of the survey.
Because of this I could not complete the survey. So apologies for that.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
hello, I found out about your site today through member blog “Daisies and Darkness.” I have the same request as ‘most everyone else…. Would you mind checking out my blog, “Extraho Morsus Canis” (DragonBitesDog) and seeing if it might be suitable for conclusion? I’ve been knocked back by blogger network groups before for not having enough posts yet, so I was wondering if that is something you look at.

Hello!
I would love to be a member of the Guild. I have two blogs.
In my primary blog, Lucky Otter’s Haven, I write about my own disorders (Borderline and Avoidant personality disorders), as well as Narcissistic personality disorder, narcissistic abuse, and complex PTSD. I will go ahead and let you know I do write about other topics, but mental health and personality disorders are the primary focus. There are a mix of serious posts and more lighthearted and even humorous ones, as well as spirituality. I am very aware of mental illness stigma and do touch on issues related to that as well. I would love to be able to display the badge on my site, and be part of this community.
My blog is here: http://luckyottershaven.com/
I have a second blog, Down The Rabbit Hole, which is more specifically focused on my journey in therapy (at first, self-therapy and then I began seeing a trauma therapist), and it has a more serious tone, but due to its highly personal nature I promote it less. But this blog is focused 100% on mental health. (I am changing he URL when I can afford to–I do not have NPD, it should read BPD–long story).
http://healingnpd.com/
I’m not necessarily asking for membership for both blogs; even if you only award membership to one, I would be extremely honored.

Thank you so much for this honor, BoldKevin! I’m looking forward to getting to meet the other members and displaying the badge on my site! You have just made my day. 🙂
Always welcome 🙂
Hello again Kevin,
I just wrote a post on my blog about this: http://luckyottershaven.com/2016/01/30/mental-health-writers-guild/
Thanks so much once again!
Hi Lucky Otter,
That really is very kind of you thank you.
The more people know about the Guild and the more active we can become as a community the better 🙂
Again, many thanks.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Hi there!
I am part of your 2015 guild. Will a 2016 emblem be made available to post on our blogs?
Hi Veronike,
Many thanks for getting in touch about this. And of course my apologies for the oversight on my part. I thought I had uploaded these but when I checked the page updates were saved to draft and not actually published. So my apologies. I have therefore now addressed that issue and the new logos for this year are now uploaded.
All those members listed on the Member Blogs page can now copy and use that logo and all those who are listed on the Member Authors page can now copy and use the one on that page.
I hope this helps and again my apologies for the delay.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Kevin, I hope you don’t think I’m spamming, but now that I’ve been accepted, I want to recommend a new blog for membership: Borderline Bella. She is a college student who has borderline personality disorder and writes about what that has been like for her as well as the stigma attached to this disorder.
Here is her site: https://borderlinebella.wordpress.com/
Hi Lucky Otter,
Many thanks for nominating Borderline Bella and her site/blog for membership, that was very kind of you.
Unfortunately I am not able to progress her membership unless Bella contacts me and applies for membership. It would, I feel, be disrespectful for me to assign membership to Bella’s site without her knowledge and consent and I hope that you agree.
That having been said, please be assured that I have visited Bella’s site – via the link you kindly provided – and would be more than happy to assign membership if Bella would like to contact me and apply.
I do sincerely hope that you understand and I again apologise for not being able to respond to your request immediately or as you perhaps would have wanted.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin, I will let her know! I hope you feel better soon.
Hi Kevin and Lucy,
Thank you Lucy for nominating my blog, I really appreciate the support! I would love to apply for membership of the guild is it is possible.
Thank you for visiting my blog Kevin, and I hope that you are well.
Bella
Hi Borderline Bella,
I am delighted firstly that Lucy nominated you and that you then got in touch.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your site and I am more than happy to include the “BorderlineBella” site in our ‘Member Blogs’ list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!

You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, blog membership is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Blog Membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Blog Membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, Blog Membership does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.

Hello-
I’m the author of “Carnal Abuse by Deceit” and the blog, “Stop Rape by Fraud!”
Both the book and the blog focus on healing and recovery from Complex PTSD and Narcissistic Victim Syndrome, which will, hopefully, be included in the upcoming version of DSM. Both conditions affect people who have been victimized by romance scams, and I endeavor to shed light on this issue so they may recognize and heal from their depression and sense of defilement.
The link to the book on Amazon is: http://www.amazon.com/Carnal-Abuse-Deceit-Predators-Became/dp/0615814557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1385257421&sr=1-1
The link to my blog is: http://rapebyfraud.com/
Sincere thanks for your consideration!
Joyce
Hi Joyce,
Many thanks for getting in touch concerning Author Membership. I am delighted to be able to advise you that I have today added you to our list of Member Authors.
Please feel free to copy the member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂
You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.
I should perhaps mention that since it is impossible for us to keep up with and/or check all the work published by our members, membership to the Mental Health Writers Guild is not granted by way of endorsement of that work or accreditation of any kind. And should not, therefore, be assumed or inferred in that context.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind Regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Thanks so much! I’m now displaying the logo on the blog. Could you please include the blog on your list as well. Here’s the link: http://rapebyfraud.com/
Sincerely Yours,
Joyce
Hi Joyce,
I have done that for you 🙂
Kind regards and God bless you.

Good Afternoon!
My name is Duchess. I am a USMC Veteran. I am an OIF & OEF Veteran. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, Stress Disorder and a Chemical Imbalance. I was medically retired after 8 years because of this. Writing has become my biggest outlet.
I am interested in both Blog and Author Membership. I have quite a large number of blogs, (I break them all down in to topics…) all of which my mental health plays a role in because they are all based on my life or interests. My mental health and my advocating for living with it is apparent in all that i write about.
I currently have 2 blogs that focus solely on Mental Health.
https://theheinoushousewife.wordpress.com/ is a blog based on trying to be a successful wife and mother while overcoming my mental health hurdles. I capitalize on things like the struggle of bad chemical days, on patience, on juggling stress etc… I have found that being a wife and mom is hard in my situation, especially because I love being both of those!
https://perfectlittlemonster.wordpress.com/ is a blog specifically for my person struggles. I started this blog to get deep and in-depth in my feels and emotions. I touch on my battle with suicide, with my issues with chemical ups and downs, and of course the struggle to feel like I am holding it all together.
BOTH of these blogs, are incredibly different. One The Heinous Housewife is definitely more upbeat. It aims to embrace the mess and enjoy what you have, even if you’re a disaster while doing it. The other- Perfect Little Monster isn’t quite as upbeat. I wanted something I could post to un-filtered so maybe i could reach that one person feeling alone and hopeless. I created that blog (which is fairly new) to tell my story in an unbiased uncensored fashion.
Dear Duchess Von Mayhem,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your blogs and also for enquiring about “Author Membership”. Let me respond to both parts individually.
The good news is that in respect of your Blog Membership for both of your blogs; ‘The Heinous Housewife’ and ‘Perfect Little Monster’ I have just popped over and visited your sites and I am more than happy to include both ‘The Heinous Housewife’ and ‘Perfect Little Monster’ sites in our ‘Member Blogs’ list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!
Please feel free to copy this year’s member’s logo from that page and to display it on your site/blog if you wish to. As a member you are entitled to 🙂

Which brings me to your application for Author Membership.
In respect of your application for “Author Membership” I apologise but I have to advise that this was created in order to specifically accommodate published authors or writers etc for their ‘off-line’ or non blog-focused presence. Or for their regular presence as committed writers on Mental Health blogs not their own.
We had, in the past, had some comments and applications from folk who do not have their own blogs but who wanted to join the guild and we, sadly, were not able to accommodate them at that time. So we started the ‘Author Membership’ in order to accommodate them and this membership is listed as: “Therefore, ‘Author Membership’ would apply to those who have written and published books or articles in off-line journals and magazines for example.”
Because of this and given what you have shared so far I am not able to see how this would apply to you as your blogs are from what you have said, your own. I do apologise for this and hope that you will understand
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Kevin,
Thank you so much! I have actually move Perfect Little Monster over to Duchess in Wonderland ( https://duchessinwonderland.wordpress.com/ ) as a way to avoid the stigma of “Monster”. I realized that it may not be conducive to helping the MH community by using that word.
Hi Duchess,
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about the change to Perfect Little Monster. I have amended the Member Blogs list accordingly.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Dear BoldKevin,
I hope this finds you well. I am so excited to have found your excellent blog. I am now your newest follower. 🙂
When you have the time, I would be so honored to become a member of your guild. My new blog is: “A Blog About Healing From PTSD.” Here is the link: https://ablogabouthealingfromptsd.wordpress.com/
I also have an older blog about mental health issues, which I call “Surviving Trauma.” That link is: https://healmycomplexptsd.wordpress.com/
Finding your guild is very exciting to me. I have been dealing with mental health issues since 1967, when I was fourteen years old. At that time, after surviving a series of extreme childhood traumas, I had a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. My abusive parents then put me in a horrid mental institution. Two years later, a new psychiatrist decided that I was not schizophrenic and he set me free. But the stigma of mental illness has continued to follow me for nearly fifty years, particularly among my family of origin.
Since 2003,, my psychiatric diagnosis has been Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, and anxiety.
I am writing a memoir about my experiences, entitled GOING CRAZY, from Horror to Hope. Writing my story is almost as hard as it was to live it!
Until the internet and blogs came along, I felt unbearably alone. What a wonderful service you are doing here for people like me!
I feel like a kid in a candy store as I read through your blog. 🙂
Am I correct in thinking that you live in Ireland? I would love to visit there. Although I live in New Mexico in the USA, I recently had my DNA tested and learned that I have a high percentage of Irish DNA. Which did not surprise me, as I have lots of freckles, aqua green eyes, and reddish blonde (graying) hair. And I also love Celtic music and dance.
Thank you for your time and consideration, BoldKevin. It is a good thing you are bold — one cannot face the stigma of mental health issues without it!
Linda Lee (my pen name)
Dear Linda Lee,

You are also very welcome to join in any competitions that are run and to give out the Warrior Child Award to any blogger whom you feel is deserving of it. You will find details of that award on its own page within the navigation bar.

In respect of your application for “Author Membership” I would love for you to become an ‘Author Member’ but can only add you once you have published your memoir, which I think you are entitling; “GOING CRAZY, FROM HORROR TO HOPE”. I do hope you will understand that we have had to set the requirement that in order to qualify the book must actually be at, or past, the publishing stage.
That is not to say that this should be an issue in respect of your displaying the Guild logo on it. As I can confirm that once it is in publication I will add you onto the list and thus I am hereby awarding you my full formal permission to go ahead and display the logo on your book under the understanding and expectation that you will be listed as a ‘Member Author’ on publication of the book.
I think that about covers the business side of it all, so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And of course again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
On the more personal side of your comment…
Yes you are correct I do live over here in Ireland now. Although I am English by birth and moved over here some 13 years back now and love it here. It is so beautiful and peaceful and the local folk are simply wonderful. This is my home now and I am extremely blessed to live here.
As for the ‘BoldKevin’ label I should perhaps – in an spirit of honesty – explain that ‘bold’ over here in Ireland has a different additional meaning/definition.
Additional to the normal ‘brave’ or ‘confident’ definition it also means ‘naughty’ or ‘mischievous’. And it is the latter which is relevant to its use as a label or name given to me by the wife of a pastor at the church I first attended when I moved over here. I have a mischievous/playful side to my nature and used to play little tricks/pranks to amuse the kids and folk at church. And whenever I did the pastor’s wife used to lovingly roll her eyes and say. “there he goes being bold again. Bold Kevin, that’s who he is.” And it kind of stuck.
But for the record I agree with you “one cannot face the stigma of mental health issues without it”. Hehe under either definition.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Oh! Thank you so much, Kevin! You are Awesome Sauce, as my dear daughter would say!!
I understand perfectly the conditions and limitations regarding the use of the guild logo. I shall bookmark your above comment and also print it out and file it with my important papers, so as not to forget. I must say, you explain the nuts and bolts very well, better than many attorneys.
As for your full explanation of “Bold Kevin” — I love it. Humor and a mischievous spirit is the best medicine. 😀
I hope that my memoir, after it is published, will at least sell enough to allow me to visit lovely Ireland. I did spend some time in Mundesley and in London in 1976 and 1977, and I felt very much at home there. As well I should, considering that ancestry (dot) com determined my DNA to be 73% British. Although I look much more Irish than English, my DNA is only 16.3% Irish. But even so, I long to visit there, and for my hubby and I to visit his ancestors’ Poland.
But now I must stop my exited babbling and let you rest. I am so happy to have found you and your blogs, Bold Kevin.
One more thing: in addition to joining your mental health writer’s guild for my two mental health blogs, may I also join as an author for the memoir I am currently writing? I would like to display the beautiful guild symbol on my memoir. As I said, the title is GOING CRAZY, FROM HORROR TO HOPE, and the story is about my post-trauma mental breakdown and incarceration in a notorious insane asylum when I was fourteen.
Thank you again for your consideration, and for all you do for mental health.
Hello, I would like to be considered for both the mental health blog and the mental health bloggers guild and if possible, the mental health authors guild. My blog concentrates on living with Post-traumatic stress disorder. I also include poetry. While I am honest about what it is like to live with PTSD, I try to incorporate hope in my writing. My memoir, Untangled, A Story of Resilience, Courage and Triumph by Alexis Rose is my story, including my healing journey and what it is like to live with PTSD. How it affects me, my family. I’m committed to starting and keeping a conversation about PTSD open and honest helping people understand this invisible illness, but also as a support for all of us who cope with mental health issues. My link is http://www.atribeuntangled.com, On my front page is a picture of my book and a description. Thank You very much for your consideration. Alexis

Hi AR,
Many thanks for getting in touch.
I wonder could you just confirm the name of your blog. I am assuming that it is called ‘Untangled’ but since the site address is longer than that I didn’t want to enter the wrong name on our list.
Many thanks.
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Hello Kevin, I’m so excited. Thank You for getting back to me. my blog address is https://atribeuntangled.com/
I’m so happy to be considered! Have a blessed day. Alexis
Hi Alexis
Sorry I think maybe I wasn’t very clear in my response to you.
I know the blog address, what I need to clarify is the name you want me to use in my list.
Is it called ‘Untangled’?
Kind regards and God b less you
Kevin
Oh, sorry about that. Yes, my blog is Untangled. If I get accepted into the authors part too, would that be under Untangled or Alexis Rose?
Hi Alexis Rose,
That is great, thank you. I just didn’t want to put the wrong name in our list.
In respect of the Member Author entry it would be under your name ‘Alexis Rose’ but would also refer to your book and to your blog.
I hope that all helps.
I am currently writing a post on another blog that I run, and then will have a bit of lunch. But after I have posted that post and finished my lunch, I will be adding both your Member Blog and your Author Blog entries.
Kind regards and God bless you.#
Kevin
SO excited! THANK YOU Kevin!
Kevin, Thank You for adding including me in both the blog and the author membership today. I am proudly displaying the logos on my homepage. I look forward to becoming involved with the guild. Have a great evening, Alexis
Hi atribeuntangled,
You are more than welcome.
Kind regards and God bless you.

Hi Kevin,
I want to commend you on the job well done on this website!! I think it’s great! I’ve also become a follower 🙂
I started a website last year, based on lived experiences from people living with mental illnesses. I have over 30 contributors now and I am blogging on several websites myself.
My website is http://mentalillness-doyouknow.com and would love to be part of this community as an author and to spread the mental health awareness based on my website.
I’d be honoured to be part of this community 🙂 TY

Hello,
I would like to apply for Blog Membership. This opportunity would be such a boost for me. My blog centers around not just my mental health in general but Borderline Personality Disorder. I do try and raise awareness of BPD a lot and the stigma that surrounds it, and also the misunderstandings that surround it. I write in a personal sense, whatever I’m feeling and my thoughts and general life with mental health issues / BPD. There are specific blog posts which I have written about BPD (my earlier posts when I started the blog) and people have emailed me about it saying I explain BPD in my own way perfectly. My blog / posts help me as writing my thoughts is my essential way of expressing myself to people I would usually find difficult in doing in person. Some of my posts such as things that have happened may seem slightly difficult for people but I just write the way I feel, that’s the only way I can write.
My blog is – https://loonydepartment.wordpress.com/

Hello. I would like to apply for a Blog Membership to the Guild. I love this idea. I just started my blog this week. It is entitled “thinkofhappythings” and can be found at
http://thinkofhappythings.com . My goal is to be an advocate for those diagnosed with mental illness (including my son), help fight stigma and help others by telling about my experiences.
I would be honored to be a part of this fabulous organization.
Thank you,

Hello!
After wandering around your site, I would like to apply for an author membership. I run my own blog: http://johnfrancisnooney.com I have been blogging for many years (at http://johnbalaya.com – a blog I’ve recently closed). On my old blog I wrote often of my struggles with depression, anxiety, and being bipolar. My old blog was never dedicated to any particular thing – I posted about my mental health, caring for an aging parent, cartoons, music videos, or whatever caught my fancy. My new blog is meant to focus on my work as a writer/poet, without all the miscellaneous things (i.e. cartoons, etc.)
While my blog is not solely dedicated to mental health, I write of my own dealings with it (and am working on bringing some of my posts from my old blog over to the new one -especially the posts from the old blog, listed under “The Depression Demons” category.)
If you think that my blog is eligible for membership, please let me know. I believe that mental health needs to be talked about in ways that describe the suffering, as well as trying to change the stigma associated with mental illness.
Thanks for your consideration.
Hi John,
Firstly a big apology for the delayed response. I have been unwell and additionally I have been extremely busy of late. Not least of which because of having to play ‘catch up’ with all the things that slipped by the wayside whilst I was unwell. So huge apologies for the delayed response. And also – by way of a ‘just in case’ caveat (if you will) I apologise if my response is a little confused. In truth my mind is still not 100%. So, the above apologies and explanation having been made…
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “John Francis Nooney”.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your site and I am more than happy to include the “John Francis Nooney” site in our ‘Member Blogs’ list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome! I have to apologise to you but at this time I felt it more appropriate to award Blog membership as opposed to Author Membership as Author Membership is primarily created for authors who write published material offline.

I should perhaps mention that due to many bloggers wishing to remain anonymous as a result of the stigma that still remains in respect of poor mental health and mental illness, blog membership is awarded to the site/blog and not the blogger or site owner. The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Blog Membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Blog Membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, Blog Membership does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”

I think this is a wonderful platform! I am a survivor of complex trauma, a cognitive behavioural coach and have just started a blog called https://couragecoaching.wordpress.com/
I often write about mental health so it would be wonderful to be included in the Guild.
Best Wishes

Hi Athina,
Firstly thank you for your kind comment and a big apology for the delayed response. I have been unwell and additionally I have been extremely busy of late. Not least of which because of having to play ‘catch up’ with all the things that slipped by the wayside whilst I was unwell. So huge apologies for the delayed response. And also – by way of a ‘just in case’ caveat (if you will) I apologise if my response is a little confused. In truth my mind is still not 100%. So, the above apologies and explanation having been made…
Many thanks for getting in touch and letting me know about your site “Courage Coaching”.
I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have just popped over and visited your site and I am more than happy to include the “Courage Coaching” site in our ‘Member Blogs’ list and in fact have just done exactly that. So welcome!

Hello! I am a relatively new blogger (June, 2016). I just discovered the guild via a “like” from https://robertmgoldstein.com, for a post that I wrote earlier today. I write about Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). I discovered an extremely (for me) helpful book called”Running On Empty”, written by Jonice Webb. I signed up for her online class this past spring, and through her guidance and the accompanying online forum, my life has taken an incredibly surprising turn for the better. On Wednesday of this past week (August 24), she featured my blog on her website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed. Thank you for providing this community. I would be honored to be considered for membership. My website is:

Hello!
My name is Steve Austin. Abuse, addiction, and a suicide attempt weren’t the end of my story. In fact, a suicide attempt is where my life began. I write about mental health on my blog at graceismessy.com and I have also published an Amazon best-selling book, “From Pastor to a Psych Ward: Recovery from a Suicide Attempt is Possible”. My brand-new book, “Self-Care for the Wounded Soul” releases November 1, 2016. You can find both books at graceismessybooks.com.
I’d love to be considered for both an Author and Blog Membership.
Thanks for your time and for providing this guild for all of us who care so much about mental health.
Sincerely,
Steve Austin

Thanks so much, Kevin!
I have recently started a new blog that is dedicated to my recovery from fear and anxiety. I am passionate about bringing hope to others who are struggling with mental health, as I have personally battled depression, addictions and an eating disorder throughout the course of my life. I have been completely eating disorder free and clean of substances for 9 years, and have made it a mission of mine to help others struggling with these issues. I have recently made great strides in my battle with fear and anxiety, and will be blogging daily about my journey with the hope of encouraging and uplifting others, while at the same time working through my fears.
I don’t know if it would be more appropriate for me to apply for an author or blog membership, but I am leaning towards blog membership. If you think the other would be more applicable, please let me know.
My contact name is Talasi Guerra, and the name of my blog is “Braver Than Before”. The site address is braverthanbeforeblog.wordpress.com
Thank you for your consideration.

The only ways in which this is relevant is that it means that…
a) Blog Membership does not (and therefore cannot be used to) imply or infer credibility to the person only to the site/blog, and then only in as much as the site/blog is seen to have a link to, or content concerning, the field of mental health and mental illness. Acceptance into Blog Membership does not therefore infer or imply that the Guild endorses any content within than site/blog. Additionally,
b) should you have or wish to start a further blog or blogs, Blog Membership does not automatically transfer to that or those blogs and they must also be approved for membership.
I think that about covers it so all that remains for me to say is that if I can be of any help please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. And again “welcome to our little band of bloggers!”
I see that you also posted a follow up comment in respect of becoming a ‘Member Author’ and so I will respond to that question via my reply to that comment. I hope that is ok? It just makes it clearer.
Kind Regards and God bless you.

^Regarding the above request, is it possible to apply for both author and blog membership?
Hi again Talasi,
I thought it would be easier for me to deal with your questions about becoming a ‘Member Author’ here in my response to this follow up comment rather than the previous one.
My difficulty is ( and actually very often is) that I only have limited information to go on. So if I am wrong in what I now explain please do not take offense but simply correct me or update my info and we will take it from there.
Here’s the current situation: What I can tell you is that ‘Author Membership’ was created in order to afford membership to those writers or authors whose work does not constitute or is not specific to blogs or websites but which have Mental Health and/or Mental Wellness as a main focus. Therefore, ‘Author Membership’ would apply to those who have written and published books or articles in off-line medical journals and magazines for example.
effectively it was created because a few folk – all of whom having either written and published books or who were regular article contributors to medical journals etc – approached me at different times expressing a desire to join and support or identify with the Guild but who had no blogs or sites of their own and who thus could not do so through becoming Member Blogs.
From what you have said in your comments and from what I have been able to read on your blog, this does not apply to you. So my immediate feeling – and again please don’t take offense if I am incorrect in my understanding – is that becoming a Member Blog is the one which is appropriate and that being a Member Author does not apply at this time.
I hope that all makes sense 🙂
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
Fantastic. That is precisely the explanation I was looking for, and very much appreciate the clarification!
Hi Talasi,
Always welcome.
Kind regards and God bless you.

Fabulous – thank you so much! Very happy to be apart of the team! You guys do a fantastic job and I really think together we can change so much. Very proud to be part of it.
Dear Bold Kevin
I will be thrilled to join your writer’s guild. I studied Journalism and communication. And worked as Production Editor on three newspapers. I suffer from Bipolar1 and PTSD. I myself have written numerous blogs for the IBPF, Yves Corner, to name but a few. I am currently writing a poetry book on mental health and creativity. I would love to be.part of your guild. So. Please consider me.
Dear Nanieve,
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding joining the guild.
I am delighted that you would like to join the guild and would be more than happy to have you as a member. But in order for me to progress this further I need to know what kind of membership you are applying for. I wonder therefore if you would take a look at our Guild Membership page (click here) and then let me know either your blog address if applying to become a blog member or some more details about you if applying for author member.
Many thanks
Kind regards and God bless you.
Kevin
