Birds- I think this is a great idea.

It's not clear to me if you have personal experience with OCD or not.

If not, I especially agree with Gus on having a co-leader- one who has experience and knowledge of OCD. Then you are covering all the bases if you want to be inclusive of most anxiety disorders.

It is probably a good idea anyway, though. But doubly so since you are a newer member and just aren't as familiar with anyone- also it can give you coverage if you need to take one of the times off.

If you are interested in looking for a co-leader, I would be willing to volunteer if you want to check out my posts, or discuss with me a little bit in chat. I've studied psych formally and informally for several years and have experience in peer support to a degree, I also briefly had a chat before. I also experience OCD and to some degree social anxiety off and on.

No hard feelings if you aren't interested, but thought I would volunteer.

I'm in chat pretty often, if you want to catch me. You can check out some of my posts on the board as well or send me a board message [I have it set so anyone can message me].

I'd also recommend, if you have a flexible schedule in terms of the chat time, you could maybe do a poll on both of these threads?

Josie.
