i know a few members with schizophrenia (me included) who would like the idea of having a chat for members who have psychosis

so far, no one has offered to host it
i am willing to host a schizophrenia chat once a week which would probably be the only time i use chat, but whatever
anyway how does someone get to host a specific chat ?

we had a few schizophrenia chats in the past, but none that were for psychosis as a whole
i think it would be very helpful and nice place in chat where people who have psychosis can come together and talk about it and not be shamed or judged

Hi Kori,

Great that you would like to host a schizophrenia chat!
As you probably already know all community guidelines apply to the chat rooms and forums. I will PM you regarding the specifics of starting up a new scheduled chat.

Thanks!
John

thanks john

i do have a question though, it's probably a stupid question but i just want to make sure
can we talk about "delusions" and "hallucinations" in a chat for psychosis? i know the rules are for coffeehouse you cant talk about mental health at all, so does that apply to all of the hosted chats or is that just for coffeehouse?

Kori,

Delusions and hallucinations are definitely appropriate topics for scheduled Schizophrenia Chat.

thanks John and kori for that. It would be nice to have a chat where we can talk about delusions and hallucinations. This is one of the better ideas for a chat room that i have been approached about. YAY for growth.

I agree. I have psychosis as part of my depression and stress causes me to have dissociative episodes. I would love to have a chat to discuss this and support others with their psychotic features....lolz, psychotic features...never thought I'd say that about myself.
