Chat can be a good thing. The social support -support- is really healthy.

For those who haven't dared, or have had less than good experience in the chat room, please don't give up on it.

Maybe you can find another member online and PM and then go into a chat room of your own (ask a mod or one of us "oldtimers" to help you do that, if you like they can set it up for you)

and then it can be just you two chatting... plus, if someone else comes in, the room is "yours" so you can control it a bit more (rather than the general use of the social chat room.)

What do you think about that?
