Time to learn another three new things about mental health. This week we have:
I don’t like to write too many self-referential posts because I’m pretty sure masturbatory navel-gazing isn’t why people come here. However, now and then people like to know what’s up.
And right now there are exciting things afoot at the Bipolar Burble and for me as well so I thought I’d let you know about them.
Read MoreHi all.
You might recall, I’m taking part in a reader engagement and feedback program through WEGO Health.
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to give me your opinion, but there’s more to do. Only about half of the people who have clicked on the survey have filled it out. We can do better than that!
The goal is to find out more about you, my reader.
The more information I can gather, the better this blog can be for you because I want this to be a place that you find useful and engaging.
That’s what I want to know.
Two of you will be the first to receive my new ebook – for free!
Please take 60 seconds and fill out the survey. I appreciate it.
– Natasha Tracy
PS: And not to worry, this is the last nag article :)
Read MoreYou might have notice I’ve been soliciting more reader feedback lately. This is for two reasons:
Because without those two things, this site turns into me just talking to myself, and well, I do that a lot already. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned about readers it’s that they surprise you. Actually asking you what you want is infinitely better than me guessing.
I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to share their thoughts with me. You’ve provided me with great topics to write about, and of course, your questions inspired the posts on mood tracking and the series on mixed moods in bipolar disorder, which is currently underway.
60-Second FeedbackToday I’m launching a 60-second survey to get a bit more information about you. This survey is completely optional, but I would appreciate one minute of your time so I can learn a bit more about you.
I’m running this survey through a site called WEGO Health. WEGO Health focuses on finding people who are leaders in health communities. These are people who:
Basically, they’re looking for many of you. I know many readers here fit their profile and would possibly benefit from their services.
WEGO Health runs webinars, chats and whatnot on health topics. You never have to attend if you don’t want to.
That’s perfectly fine. There’s a checkbox at the bottom of the survey that will opt you out of all emails.
One of the good things about running it through a third party is you’ll be anonymous to me so you can be completely honest. If there are things you don’t like here, it’s OK – be honest about them.
By taking this survey you will get customized social media tips provided by WEGO Health.
And as a bonus, two lucky survey responders will receive my new ebook, currently in production: Electroconvulsive Therapy – Everything You Need to Know Before You Go Under the Electrode (it’s a working title, I know, inflammatory).
OK, go spend 60-seconds for me. I appreciate it.
(Note: I have no direct or financial ties to WEGO Health. If anyone has any questions about the survey, feel free to leave a comment here or contact me directly.)

If you’ve been around for the last couple of weeks either at the Burble or at Breaking Bipolar, you know it’s been pretty much all suicide all the time. And there will probably be more to come on suicide as it’s an awfully big topic.
But I do have a question for everyone:
As most of you know, in addition to the Bipolar Burble I also author Breaking Bipolar on HealthyPlace.com. I write a column there twice a week as well as produce one bipolar-themed video and two audio files per month. It’s a fairly well-received bipolar blog often with much discussion, feedback and sharing.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out Breaking Bipolar lately, here are a few of the highlights:
I’m sure that’s more than enough for now. Upcoming pieces on the Bipolar Burble will likely be about hypomania and delusions and possibly regarding the black box warning on antidepressants actually increasing suicides (you can yell at me about that after I write it). There will probably be a piece about my own ECT experience as well as that’s not really covered here (I wrote quite a bit about it on another blog.)
If you’d like to see a topic covered on the Bipolar Burble or Breaking Bipolar or have a question you can always contact Natasha Tracy. I can’t promise I’ll respond but I’ll do my best.
The bipolar and mental health resources page has also been updated. These are good resources you should know about.
