My Mind is Working...
Hi All,
I am thinking that we might need another kind of thread on here. Because we are growing older (WTH!) and some of us have had or are having serious medical and/or psychological issues I'm thinking that a couple of times a week, or more, we might want to have a Support Group thread. I wouldn't want it to be a "Bitc- Fest" , but a place to process and get support in a more consistent manner than the daily thread might provide. It could be an honest place that you could access if you so choose. Maybe (if we are lucky) it would be empty of posts at times. I want it to be a healthy place... if you are posting you must be willing to help yourself in small ways to make life better. What are others thoughts on this? I don't want to start something that would not be wanted.

Yes, as well as those who are dealing with cancer, pain issues, depression, anxiety, aging issues... I hope that it could be a place where support is given, but also posters would have to be able to try to help themselves. Since none of us are doctors or medical practitioners it would simply be a support place.
Sounds good.
Thanks

Hi Julia,
I support the idea in theory, but would probably be a reader/supporter, but not one to share. While I sometimes need support with issues, I am reluctant to share personal info on the internet where the info is available to any & all. In fact, I deleted my old profile & created a new username here, because at one time if you Googled my name (quite a common name), you got a link to all my OH postings.
Just my thoughts, overall I support the idea!
