Bipolar Chicks Blogging
This blog is written by four female friends who, in their words are Four very different women, brought together…not by a common bond of bipolar disorder, depression or *fill in the blank*; but by the common fighting spirit of survival and through laughter." They post regularly with updates about their lives and their experiences. They also cover news articles and reports about Bipolar and related conditions. Note there is some mature, adult language in the posts, so the writing may not be appropriate for some readers.

Moodie
This blog is written by a woman who has manic depression (Bipolar Disorder) and a Master's degree in psychology. Her goal is to use her unique perspective to help people better understand and live with this mood disorder. While the blog has been around since 2007, there were few posts in the first two years. However, she has begun posting regularly (and committed to continuing) and the posts are all well written, easy to understand and explore Bipolar Disorder, related conditions, and her day-to-day coping with it.
