Hey all, apologies for the radio silence. I have been a very busy boy recently away from the blog with trips to various corners of the country to see friends/relations/cats so that's why we've been lacking in posts recently but there is news on the horizon:
More of the wonder of the interwebs:
As a fair few of you will be aware, This is Panic now has a page on Facebook so you can become a "fan" of the blog on there. Remember to invite your friends along as the more people, the better a discussion we can all have about everything. Searching This is Panic on Facebook should give you the page. A big thanks to those of you who have already joined the party.
Everyone loves posts:
The next part of the series is in the works at the moment. As ever if there's anything that you want to see written about. Also don't forget that this is your space too! If you want to contribute anything to the blog itself then let me know either through the site itself or Facebook.
New series:
A new series of posts is in the works as well. It'll be called "Panic Buys" where I and you lovely lot will review some of the products on hand marketed to help us cope with anxiety conditions. I don't mean medications but things like books, herbal remedies, self help guides, anything we can get our grubby little hands on. Part 1 of that is in the pipeline to come out soon but as ever input people! Your reviews are welcome.
This is Panic in print:
I mentioned a while back that the blog was going to be featured in a national publication and as it's now September and the magazine is coming out soon, I think we can let the cat out of the bag.
A while back I sent an email to the national charity Anxiety UK (formally The National Phobics Society) asking them if they had a blog roll and if so could we be put on it. The response was essentially "sorry, no blog roll but we like the blog and would you mind writing something for it?"
Naturally I jumped at the chance.
Anxious Times is the quarterly magazine of Anxiety UK which has articles covering the gambit of conditions from GAD to OCD to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It's got regular articles from professionals and is a good publication for anyone who either suffers or works in the field of mental health. For you environmentally minded lot, you can even subscribe and get the magazine sent to you as a pdf!
The article I've written is called "Make it Write" and will feature in the September issue of the magazine, out this week. The article will come out in Anxious Times first and I will publish it at a later stage on here but it'd be great if some of you would go get the magazine and show some love.
That's all for now folks, stay happy and if you can't stay happy at least stay safe.
Anthony

This is Panic Update 13/06/09
Hey guys and girls, just a quick update on a couple of bits regarding what's coming soon in the blog, some outside bits and pieces and your involvement in TIP.
Blog posts to come
Upcoming stuff in This is Panic itself will see posts on relationships of the romantic kind, God, family (both my own and the one I intend to have, this may be one, possibly two). Thee's no set order at the moment as to what will come next, it's more how the mood takes me.
When I start my counseling I may incorporate thoughts of that into the original TIP series or I may start a different series for it. That's as yet undecided so please let me know your thoughts on that.
Outside Interests
Obviously thanks to those of you who have taken to the time to read the first 4 posts and luckily others seem to like it as well. A couple of emails flying around has resulted in me being asked to write about TIP for an anxiety focused publication read by sufferers and medical professionals alike. I'll give out more details on that as and when the article is written and published in the magazine.
Audience Participation
In the introduction to This is Panic, I said I wanted people out there to get involved so this is me mentioning this again and there's a couple of ways you can do that:
* Write something as a guest writer for the blog:
Now you may have already done this on your own blog or you might want to write something totally new. Either is cool. I can't pay you sadly (I don't do this for money) but if you send me something and a link to your blog or the original post then you'll get full credit. I believe in everyone getting full credit for what they write. If editing is required then we'll discuss it first. I will never publish edited work before discussing it with the author.
* Ideas for links
If you have ideas for links to sites that may be interesting to people then let me know. I'll post the link on the blog. The only thing I will say is no publicity for your own blog this way; if you want to publicise your blog then I'd ask you to write something please.
* What do you want to see?
I am one guy and my brain will only go so far. If you want the blog to address any points or topics at all that I have missed then say. I'm not a pro or anything so I need help as to where to go from time to time and I want to address all aspects of this. I said that I love the intake of information so the more I have to do the better I think.
Thanks guys, part 5 coming sometime next week probably.
