Online Support Group

[Rick]

Is anyone interested in a support group for MD through online video conferencing?   If you are, leave a post.  I think using Google Hangout would be the best medium.  What do you guys think?  What time would be best for everyone?  What kind of format should there be?

[Rick]

What time would be best for everybody? 9 pm MT time(my timezone) would be 10 pm on the west coast and 7 pm on the east coast.  Should be it be on a weekend(Sunday) or a weekday(Wednesday)?

Sure, once we think we have enough people i will post a link on this blog.

Great!  I think that makes 3  of us.  Lets see if we can get 1 or 2  more!

Hi, Mr. Rick!
You're right, it just may help those who do. :) Oh, and I'm very sorry to hear that you have social anxiety. :( That must be very frustrating. People aren't as scary as they seem, though, haha!

[Rick]

Hi Jennifer.  I think most people with MD have social anxiety problems(me included) which is partly why i believe a support group would be good therapy.

[Jennifer]

Yes, absolutely. I've mentioned this on many other blog posts/discussions. I think it would be really cool to speak with one another about MD. It could really help some people, I think. But, on the other hand, I know some people on this site who suffer from social anxiety. Maybe it would be too hard for them to get on video and talk to us. :/ But that's okay...That's what this site is for. :) Thank you, Ms. Cordellia. :)

it would be more like a support group.

I probably would if it were a very small group, three, four people max. Bu time zones would eff it up a bit, (in NZ) as would having to use Mum's laptop for the video.
