Introduction
This blog will be a place for me to update everyone on the progress of the site, what's new, what's coming soon, and to introduce new diaries. The first diaries went up over the last week and I'm really excited about the things I've been reading. If this is any indication of what's to come, I am very excited indeed.
This week saw the first posts of Olga Gonzalez-Ramos in Fat, Fit & Fabulous. Olga is a plus-sized model and will be writing about keeping fit and healthy even when one is overweight. We'll also get to follow along on her journey as a model.
Ersol began posting in his diary, On Why I Feel Alone! I love his honesty and his thoughtful posts on the loneliness that comes with having bipolar disorder.
Elizabeth began her diary, It's Your Parents' Fault!, chronicling her 19-year quest to find out what was causing her symptoms. According to her first post, it took her many years to find out that what she had was panic disorder. Her post also gives me an idea for a new section I'd like to start about doctor experiences. This will be a section where people can post one-time stories about both negative and positive doctor experiences. Why do I have a hunch they will be mostly negative? I can throw my own bad doctor experiences into the fray ...
This first week also saw the start of two diaries by Kathy, After Anorexia and Shattered Dreams. After Anorexia will deal with her experiences with anorexia. Shattered Dreams will deal with her experiences with a schizophrenic son. If her first posts are any indication, her diaries will be a fascinating, wild ride indeed!
Please bear with us as the site is being completed and the rest of the categories are being added. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to email or to post in the comments section of this blog.
Other than that, the only thing left to say right now is: welcome!
