<font color="purple">[b]Hi everyone! This is just a reminder about the 1st chat tonight on Coping with the Holidays.
 This first chat will help identify the stressors in your holiday life, and try to track down any negative thinking that leads up to it. In future Monday night chats the specific issues and coping skills, that you bring to chat tonight, will be addressed more directly. <font color="green"> The format is a little different from some chats, in that it is a "directed" chat. It isn't a question-and-answer-type chat, though short questions on-topic are good, but I will be placing statements and questions up for each person to comment on, rather like a group session. It's a little more "formal" I guess you could say, in that there isn't the banter back and forth. I hope this makes it easier to follow the theme.  So for those of you who feel lost in a big chat, or feel a bit intimidated by all the questions others ask, come try out this format and see if it works for you. <font color="purple"> That chat is at 10 pm in the Main Psych Central chat room. (PS I had to uninstall IE7 to have chat work decently for me. ) Hope to see you tonight. Jean

<font color="blue">Thank you all for helping make this first chat a success!
I have a copy of the entire 1 hour chat, if you wish to have it, PM me with "Chat copy please" (so your PM doesn't get lost in the mire.) Have the best holiday you can this week... and I hope to see you all next Monday night again when we'll begin some specific coping strategies for the negative stressors. (think reframing!)

aww bummer... I missed the chat. I am not even sure if I can get into chat. I know one time I was pushing buttons and landed in a chat. The problem was I was soooooo shocked I popped into the chat room, I totally scrambled. I didn't know how to get out of the chat room and for some reason my text was not showing up in the room. Thinks my heart was pounding l00 miles a min.
 Only way I could get out of the room was to turn off my computer....Anyway, I will try to make it to the next one, that is if there are more...... |

Hi folks! I've sent a copy of the chat to both of you
Not sure that will happen with each chat, but it worked this time.  Thank you Septie for your support. Thanks to Rapunzel who helped in the background. I really appreciate all of you coming in (there were 20 of us at one point!) I'll do a little tweeking now that I know better what fits into one of OUR PC hour chats

I just read through the transcript and it was a HUGE help!!! I got a little emotional at some of the stressors listed but I liked how we can try and think positively about those stressors. I really think its going to help me this Thursday!!!
Thank you ((((((( Sky )))))))

Hey Sky, Wanted to let you know how good your chat was. I had to miss end of it as bedtime for me is 10:30 pm. I stayed as long as I could. Sorry to break your one rule, but I hate to leave chat without saying goodbye. Wish you could start a bit earlier, but I found your chat to be very interesting and helpful. Understanding is the key to healing.
