		<description>A few months ago, you received an invitation from us to participate in a study about mental health and blogging habits as part of a research project conducted by Professor Yifeng Hu in the Communication Studies department at The College of New Jersey.  We are still seeking mental health blog authors to complete our study and would appreciate your participation!

We want to know more about your blogging behavior and your perception
towards blogging. Participating in the study might help you better
understand your attitude towards blogging and your blogging behavior. The study will likely have practical implications in improving mental health services.

Your data will be stored in the principal investigator’s computer with
identifiers removed. In fact, we do not collect participants’ identifications. The only information that may link the participant to his/her data is the email address that the participant chooses to provide in order to obtain the gift card. But this information is strictly used for incentives. Once obtained, we will separate the email address from the data.

We appreciate your time and help with our study and as a thank you for
participating you will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card.  If you are
interested, please respond to mhblog@tcnj.edu and be sure to include a
link to the home page of your blog as well as your preferred contact email address.  The survey will be sent to you via email within the next few days.  Thank you in advance for your participation!  Please feel free to contact Professor Hu if you have any questions. Her phone number is 609-771-2373.</description>

		<description>Annie, you are doing well.  One bad day out of 10 good days is allowed.....keep it up.

I think writing in itself is cathartic and helps the &#039;healing&#039; process.</description>

		<description>Wow! You&#039;ve had a bad time!

But you&#039;re on your way out of it.

I have also had to put my dog to sleep.  Even though her quality of life was getting very poor, I felt really guilty about it all.  For weeks after.  Luckily I&#039;ve got over it now.

Anyway, good to see you blogging again.  It&#039;s a good release, isn&#039;t it?  I look forward to seeing a positive post soon...

Thinking of you &amp; wishing you all the best...</description>

		<description>Hi Annie…

Hope you&#039;re doing better today, or at the very least, after you read this comment. I saw the dreaded word, &quot;Agora…&quot; and knowing more than I ever wanted to know about the world of &#039;phobias&#039; I felt it would be cruel if I didn&#039;t take just a moment to drop you a line.

As you can see my nickname here at wordpress.com is &#039;onemorecup.&#039; I have three blogs here as well: (1) The Thinker, (2) Simpleminds, and (3) American Age that have assisted me enormously, if for no other reason than the usual: Not having to go outside, mingle with people, or ever go through another &#039;attack&#039; again. However, I have been a writer for decades now and it is something I love to do.

Cats&#039; are out….so to speak and I admire your ways of dealing with some of your symptoms (NOT issues, insofar as it&#039;s not about issues!); actually, for me I went undiagnosed for years. Then after the extreme (puking, passing out, and close to $50,000 in medical treatment) perhaps as I felt &#039;life-threatening&#039; panic episodes escalating more yep, I thought I was a goner for sure.

We can do specifics later, if and only if you care too. I was an agoraphobic (agoraphobiac) for over thirty years when I was finally diagnosed. Again, as I&#039;ve stated previously, it is very difficult for humankind to openly self-disclose, especially when people do not understand what agoraphobia is; however, worse is the notion that they have no idea what one suffering from the ailment is going through. I care. I&#039;ve been down the road. I&#039;ve been in those shoes, and if you like, I&#039;m here to read. CHEERS!
