According to an estimate quoted in The Wall Street Journal, by 2009 , The Blog may have generated $40,000 (£32,000) a month in revenue from paid advertising.
Armstrong parlayed her success into a strong Social Media presence and three books, including The 2009 memoir It Sucked And Then I Cried: How I Had a Baby, a Breakdown and a Much Needed Margarita.
According to The Book , she suffered chronic depression throughout her life and it was not treated until she got to college.
A caption on a Dooce Instagram page on Wednesday announcing her death said: " Hold your loved ones close and love Everyone Else . "
Mr Ashdown told The AP that his partner had been sober for More Than 18 Months but had recently had a relapse. He Said she had died by suicide.
Armstrong is Survived By her ex-husband Jon; Her Daughter Leta, 19; her son Marlo, 14; and Mr Ashdown, as well as his three children from a previous marriage.
