ADDitude Magazine: Anger. Also, Blogging Advice.

Last year at ADDitude Magazine I wrote about how ADHD anger issues hurt relationships with my daughters and my ex-wife. It wasn't a funny article, but a serious one where I shared what I learned, and hoped others could learn from my mistakes. I titled it simply "Anger" and listed three tips that adults with ADHD needed to manage their anger before they drove away everyone that they loved. Read about it at the Family Guy. Other Stuff • A reader sent me the following. I didn't think it was good from my usual Mailbag segment since it wasn't about mental health, but thought I'd answer it here instead: Hello Doug, I recently started my own blog on my dealing with my depression/melancholy www.melancholymanbag.com and have been searching around for other blogs dealing with depression(geared more towards men). I enjoyed running across your blog. I enjoy the humor and find the content interesting. I also appreciate your courage in letting everyone know who you are. For me the idea of telling friends or acquaintances about my blog is terrifying! I too eventually found that meds weren't really helping all that much. Luckily the side-effects I had weren't all that bad, but getting off led to about half a year of insomnia, acid-reflux and other digestive issues and all around feeling yucky. I am now trying to figure out how to best promote my blog. May I ask what routes you took to spread word of your blog? Thanks Wow. Finding a depression blog that caters to men is difficult...
