Blogging is good for you!!! I believe blogging helped me through infertility without going insane. I never went to a therapist, but I almost did after I got caught up in the terrorist attack in Brussels. But I never needed it in the end. I think blogging helped me overcome a lot of the trials and tribulations we faced in our IF journey. 

I recently put a video together as part of a communications module I was studying. It is about why blogging is good for you, but my inspiration came from my blogging experience with both my blogs the great pudding club hunt and the inconceivable adventures of parenthood.

My arguments were all positive in this video which I know is a bit unrealistic. Blogging is not for everyone and it certainly doesn’t replace seeking medical or specialist therapy. Anonymity can be achieved, but it’s not easy.

There are also a lot of trolls out there who ruin it. Luckily, over the several years of blogging I have only faced one serious disruptor. But personally this just adds to the opportunity to practice my critical thinking and communication skills, so I turned the lemons into lemonade.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for me blogging has been a positive and enriching experience overall.

What have you enjoyed most about blogging?
