Mental health blogs are a little more exclusive than lifestyle and beauty blogs, and I’ve definitely realised there are a shortage of posts like this. So, if you blog about anything to do with health, wellness, happiness or mental health, this is for you.
- Share a past experience or story
- Give some tips on how to be happier/boost your mood
- Write a post on something that you know a lot about – for example, how to be healthier/be less anxious/beat depression
- Share your best tips for being productive on a bad mental health day
- Describe how you help yourself, and if you’ve been to counselling or therapy then give your readers a snippet of what you learnt
- Share things that will cause your mental health to suffer
- Talk about the stigma surrounding mental health
- Share some useful blog posts that have helped you
- Round up some things you shouldn’t say to someone who’s struggling with a mental health disorder
- Share some sleeping tips for people who find it hard to sleep
- Explain the most useful things you can do for a friend who’s struggling with a mental health disorder
- Give your readers a day-in-the-life post
- If you have overcome or beaten a mental health disorder, talk about how you did so
- Share some wellness blogs that you read frequently
- Write a post talking about little lifestyle adjustments you can do to improve your mental health
- Write about your inspiration and people who help you to deal with your mental health
- Explain how to feel happier during the cold wintry months
- Review a product (diary, supplement, book, guide etc) and give your readers an insight into how it has helped
- Talk about exercise and how it can help your mental health
- Create a mini guide to surviving a certain mental health disorder
- Write about an awkward experience that you had to deal with and give some coping tips
- Share things you’ve learned about yourself because of your disorder
- Tell your readers the worst things about your disorder
- Share the most positive outcomes of your mental health disorder and say why this has helped you
- Create a humorous story regarding mental health by using an allegory or fictional characters to help people understand
- Illustrate what it’s like to have a mental health disorder
- Share your favourite charities or websites that support people with mental health disorders
- Promote organisations or activities nearby that help people struggling with their mental health
