Have you ever considered making blogging as an alternative therapy to depression, loneliness, and insomnia? Is it effective? How did it help?
Writing is first a necessity, before it became my passion. I am not as gifted as the others are or as prolific, but this is a medium that I chose to express myself. With the advent of blogging as an alternative platform, my writing turned more into an expression of my opinions, and a good alternative therapy to my depression.
Blogging forces me to rethink many things about life and express them with an audience in mind. More so, the best thing about blogging is getting responses to your posts. Thus it does not become a mere podium for monologues. The responses from your readers keep you on your toes and impel you to rethink your thoughts before you publish them. With that, you come out refreshed and feeling a lot better to confront your anxieties and problems.
