Positive Thinking Chat, Thursday 27th March, 7:30-9pm - Sign Up Here!

Hey everyone :wave:

On Thursday the 27th of March, we're running another Positive Thinking Chat for 10 people. This will be instead of normal support chat.

Some of you have been to these before, but for people who haven't, here's some info:

What is positive thinking chat?
Are you experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety? For example low moods, feeling tense, uncertain or fearful about things? This chat is a chance to work through what you already do or would be willing to try, to improve your mental health.

How will it work?
You'll explore some of the positive things about yourself and each other and the different ways you've managed to make even small amounts of progress.

The aim is to get a bit of a boost when it comes to dealing with your problems, gain a bit of fresh perspective on what you've done well and pick up inspiration from others.

The chat is friendly and informal with simple questions for everyone to have a go at answering at their own pace. You can ask if you don't understand a question, or just not answer it at all - whatever you feel comfortable with :)

We will not to publish the transcripts so everything that is said in the chat stays in the chat!

Where do I sign up?
There are 10 places for this chat so you'll need to sign up. If you're not sure about signing up you can PM me or Jo7 or reply to this thread with any questions :)
We do these chats in a small group so that everyone gets the chance to contribute and the pace of the chat is easy to follow.

Places are going pretty quickly, so click the link below soon to make sure you get one ;)

SIGN UP HERE :)

    I tried clicking the link to sign up, but it just came up with a blank page. Is there another way of signing up?

    That's strange Tues.. Did you give it a min to load? Are you on a computer or a phone/tablet?

    If it still doesn't work after giving it a min to load and/or trying it on a computer, send me a PM with answers to these questions:
    • What's your (user)name?
    • What's your username for the chat?
    • How old are you?
    • Are you free on Thursday 27th March from 7.30-9pm?
    • Have you been to a chat like this before?
    • Would you like to take part or watch the chat session?

    You could maybe sign up to observe and get a taste of what the session is like. They are really good tho. :)

    Hey rosebud,

    They happen every so often, we don't really have a fixed schedule for them. 'NanaMonkey's idea of just observing is really good. It would help you understand what these chats are like.

    If you'd like more info about it, feel free to PM me :)

    That is odd! Not sure why that's happening!
    Okay, just send me a PM with answers to the questions above, and I'll do it for you ;)
