Keep on the good posts. There is a lot of truth and good sense in what you wrote that day. I think it appealed to many of your readers. Maybe the lesson here is : always write with your heart..

In that sense - you're absolutely right, it was written as therapy and as you could tell from the comments it was pretty healing for me to record those emotions as I was having them. The smileys are a bonus, indeed! ;) Of all of the posts I’ve written, that one you earmarked is one in a handful where I’m much more emotionally vested in my blog than usual.

Writing is therapy for many, and taking journaling and writing to the public stage of blogging is a huge step. Some think it through very carefully, while others just don't give a rip who reads their babble. As for attracting traffic to your blog, whether that serves the therapy aspects or not, is a different matter. Consistent and growing readership is created by worthwhile reading and content worth linking to. It's created by a need to share with others, a give and take, and establishing a relationship with your audience that keeps them coming back for more. For some, this is therapy, as they spend more time thinking about others than themselves. For others, it's self assuring to see the traffic numbers go up, since it helps their self-esteem and worth. It's a complex thing, blogging. As for mental health aspects, it can get even more complicated. My comment was meant to be satirical, but I love that it inspired you to ask and answer the issue. Let me see if I can find those articles that might help you tackle this subject. I found some other articles a while ago about blogging as therapy that I’ll have to dig out of my brain and notes.
