Recently I announced there are great things happening for me personally and for me at the Bipolar Burble. Well, there was so much good news I couldn’t announce it all at once. I was waiting for contracts to be signed and confirmations to come through. These things have now happened, so I have two pieces of news:
I’m honored to have been asked to speak at the National Council on Mental Health and Addictions Conference. I will be doing a “Lunch ‘n Learn” session where people can join me for an interactive conversation over lunch. No PowerPoint presentations, no speeches, just information and interaction.
My session will be on “To Blog or Not to Blog?” and will discuss the benefits, pitfalls and ramifications of healthcare blogging. The conference is April 15-17 in Chicago. If you’re curious, there are all sorts of amazing sessions available at the conference and you can find out more here. More information on my session will be available shortly.
Blogging for Healthline.comThe kind people at Healthline.com have asked me to start a health expert blog with them. Healthline hosts a series of health blogs on topics ranging from Heart Smart Living to Crohn’s disease and now bipolar disorder. This blog will be launching in mid-January and I will have more information about it for you then.
And to be clear, I will still be blogging for HealthyPlace, this is just another place to share my writing. I intend for this new blog to focus more on mental healthcare news while HealthyPlace will continue to explore more personal issues. However, as the blog has not launched yet, specific perspective is still under discussion.
Unfortunately, signing this contract means I am no longer eligible for Health Blog of the Year on their site. While I would certainly love that title (and the prize money) a chance to work with them is well worth withdrawing.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I hope you’ll continue to support me and my work in the future.
I have additional good news, but no, I can’t share it right now. All I can say is that the end of 2011 was very good to me and I hope to continue this roll into 2012.

Learn why the myth persists, what the evidence really says, and how it matters in everyday life.
Self-hatred in bipolar disorder can feel relentless — a voice telling you you’re not enough, day after day. But this voice is lying to you. Discover why bipolar disorder makes it so easy to hate yourself, how it steals your self-worth, and practical steps to break the cycle.

So very excited for you. Wonderful News. :)
Thanks Gretchen.
As we say in Australia, “good on you” (well deserved Natasha).
Well, as we say in Canada, thank-you. ;)
We say “good on you” too, just not g’day mate. :)

Natasha,
Good for you. You deserve to be honored and rewarded for many reasons.
Most of all I wish the New Year rewards you with remission so that you can better the work you’ve already undertaken.
Warmly,
Herb

Hi Herb,
Thank-you. I’m actually feeling no too bad these days. Sort of a “yuck” on the scale between tragic and normal. Which is not so bad all things considered.

Well done!
Thanks David.
